<p>At Yale, and the rest of the ivies, a portion of every student’s financial aid package is from a term-time job and summer employment. Both of those add up to about $5,000-$6,000 per year, depending on a family’s circumstances. So, even when a student is on full-scholarship they still need to come up with $5k to $6k per year.</p>
<p>So, financially, your daughter is way better off taking the scholarships offered from UCF than going to the ivies. Congratulations to your D!</p>
