Hi! Yes I entered all the information and that’s what came back. I’m bummed that he just missed National Merit Finalist by a couple of points, because that would have guaranteed him full tuition. In any case, $15,000-$20,000 is affordable for us, and it could even be one of the lowest offers we get! I was just hoping for a lower price. Ideally I’d like him to get close to full tuition paid and I’d just be responsible for room/board and expenses. But maybe that’s not realistic.

I think my income is slightly too high for the tax credit, but I won’t know until tax time. Ugh, this is so frustrating…I’m broke, but on paper I have a relatively high income, so I’m probably going to end up paying more than I’d like anywhere, unless he gets very lucky with a merit scholarship somewhere…And no, the ex won’t contribute anything. :(

In any case, I think the U of Alabama is wonderful in so many ways and I have high hopes for it. Thanks so much for pointing me in that direction, I honestly would never have known about it otherwise. :)
