[quote=Anonymous]OP here: thanks everyone. I’m fairly certain we won’t qualify for need based aid since we are two working parents. The merit aid is so confusing because I don’t know what to tell my child the cutoff amount is for applying to schools. Realistically we can afford mid $30s (in-state rates) so do I tell my child a school over $50k is off limits for applying? Since he wants a larger school, most of the ones that seem to offer big merit are small. His grades are average, so I can’t imagine why a medium size or larger school would offer merit as I’m sure they’re getting lots of applications. Hopefully I’m wrong. Child would like to go to school out of this area, but cost is certainly a factor.[/quote]
