Thanks for your suggestion of looking for other Scholarships apart from UM, as I said he did not get any UM.

Any pointers where to start looking will be appreciated. The admissions & financial aid want us to wait till March when a FA package will be sent, no comments on how much, will it be loans or grants or scholarships.

We suspect the FA package from UM may come in the form of LOANS. I do not want him to start accumulating loans from the undergraduate schooling, if I can help it. We will end up spending all the saved up 529 money & when we get tp Law School we will see how to skin that cat, one school at a time I guess. If push comes to shove, we will spend some of the money earmarked for our retirement.

Last night, our son was talking on the lines about going to UF for BS & save the money for the graduate school. We do second that, but the final decision will be his.

But no Loans, as I keep reading about the Loans of some of the new graduates in this ECONOMY & I find it disheartening . They have a bad taste in their mouths whenever they look back on their undergraduate decisions, it does not have to be that way.
