The short answer is yes. If your student is admitted by a school with a good need-based FA program, they will be receiving aid because otherwise they wouldn’t be able to attend, period. How muc could you get? If you are in a school that meets 100% of financial need (there are a dozen out there I think), then you will receive significant aid. If not for your rental property, I’d say probably full or close to full aid. For other schools, it’d be a hit or miss. Some may reject you because of the heavy need but some may even offer your merit based scholarship if they have such a program. Still others will “gap” you so you have to come up with the at least some of the fund on your own.
