@joedoe your article was exactly what I was looking for. My ds has a full tuition offer at a state tech school but was accepted at RPI. I’d love for him to attend RPI no question but we definitely can’t afford it. What other sources am I missing that you think might help. Here’s the breakdown.
RPI offered 29.5k
loan 5.5k
that’s 34k so far
I can afford to pay exactly what I have been paying so far at his highschool a little less than 10k
so that’s 44k, let’s call it 45k
RPI CoA is 70k so I’m left with 70k-45k = 25k
I’m almost there, where can I find this? Are there any hidden scholarships that you could suggest? I’d like to commit as soon as possible and finally have a little peace of mind but there’s a month of mind-racking left to do unless I get a solution soon. If my brain snaps and I go insane and borrow, what kind of loan is best etc…?
