[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the tuition rates.

GMU:https://studentaccounts.gmu.edu/tuition-fees/

Right now they are about 5k a semester. It depends on how many hours you take. [/quote]

So, assuming this figure is correct, no.

Tuition is $10,000 a year, x 4 = $20,000

But tuition tends to go up each year at most schools. 
And kids have to buy books and pay fees (like for labs, course supplies, activities).

So, I would say that right now you don't have enough. But if the grandparents continue to contribute $12K a year, you can do the math and see how that would add up. Good luck.[/quote]

1k a year she's 13 she would have 18k by the time she turns 18. [/quote]

Is it $1k/year or $1k/month like you wrote in the original post?

$18k will not pay for 4 years at any school without massive scholarships, but it's a solid start and make the remaining loans at an affordable school reasonable.  Everyone does what they can, if this is the most you can save then it will work out.[/quote]
