Now, more than ever, families and students pursuing higher education opportunities must do their research into the financial viability of colleges as well as the long-term cost of tuition, student loans, and other expenses.  In many cases, this is almost as big a financial investment as buying a home.[/quote]

Our upper middle class neighbor's daughter is going to play soccer at some D3 college in the fall and they swear they're only paying $10,000 total all-in per year. Tells me these small colleges are extremely hard-up for students.[/quote]

There are many schools that award merit aid to literally nearly everyone accepted.  https://www.road2college.com/colleges-offering-largest-percent-students-merit-based-scholarships/

Are you guys new here or something? This is discussed ad nauseum. Schools that don't need to draw in students give very little, even bigger state schools with decent acceptance rates for lower performing kids. PSU, OSU, and many big 10 schools, for example. The "selective" schools also don't have to draw schools (Ivies, NE SLACs). The ones that need to "make their case" a bit more will offer money.

This has been the case since forever. . . . [/quote]
