[quote=Anonymous]Ok my son will be a junior next year and unfortunately we don't have any money saved for college.

I will be able to contribute $12k/year, my ex wife $12k/year and my parents $10k/year.

So he will have about $34k/year from us. We are looking at colleges $50k/max. He took the SAT and got 1450 in his sophomore year, but he will retake it again at some point, but his GPA is not very high because although he has been taking honors science and math courses his final averages have been around 82%. He got 82% in honors calculus 1 in his sophomore year and he will be taking honors calculus 2 in his junior year.

So we assume he will have a $15k gap to close. Can he get some kind of scholarship with those grades to close the gap?

We don't want to take parents plus loans and also want to minimize his student loans debt. If he comes out with $50k loan after 4 years we feel it's reasonable. We don't anticipate he will go to graduate school because he wants to study civil engineering like I did.[/quote]
