Not just private schools. Gunn, which is a public HS in Palo Alto, averages ~20 per year and reaches >25 some years.</p>

My earlier numbers included more than 1x salary in assets/equity. Some numbers with larger assets are below:</p>
<p>Parental Contribution for 100k Income with Varied Assets
No Assets – $13,000
$300,000 in savings – $21,000
$600,000 in savings – $31,000
$1 million in savings --$50,000</p>
<p>In the united states, ~75% of families have a net worth of under $200k (figure based on older data) implying that few I’d call middle class have this much assets. Nevertheless, the financial aid was quite significant with as much as $600,000 in assets. In this example, even millionaires received financial aid.</p>
