Weird Financail question

<p>my BIL indicated that he read that certain schools will cut you a break on tuition if you pay lump sum (or request a discount). Assuming kid is totallly on parent’s dime anyone know if this is the case?? (Sounds like asking for a discount at car dealership)</p>

<p>Many schools will allow you to pay the full four years up front, so as to avoid the annual increases. Not actually a ‘discount’, but a savings nonetheless.</p>
