My family’s adjusted gross income is about 8000. My dad makes about 40,000 a year (if you include benefits). We have no savings what so ever, don’t own a house, cars are woth less than 10k total, 2 kids already in state colleges, etc. We are actually in debt over 40 grand.

And andyway… This is how my aid breaks down:

Parents’ contribution: 1100
Student contribution: 1100
Work-Study Program: 1300~
Grants: The rest of it

That’s a great aid package… I’m not complaining at all. Sure it isn’t a HYPS “you don’t pay a dime” package but I can easily make that money in the summer working a job, so there will be no real need to take out loans – just get a job ;o
