You got some good advice on your other thread…about seeking merit aid, for example.
In that thread, you said you could pay $10,000 a year. For freshman year, your daughter would be eligible for a $5500 student loan. So…you have about $15,000.
If she can find a full tuition scholarship, her costs will be covered.
I think your best bet is to spend some time looking for places where a full tuition scholarship is guaranteed. I know you said the south is not possible, but I would suggest you think about that if finances are a significant consideration.
In addition, it will be a LOT easier to know what’s a possibility for merit aid once your daughter has a real SAT or ACT score.
Thank you to the above poster for correcting my tag! Screennames were sure close!
