[quote=Anonymous]My DC has a $16K package from Arizona State basically making it about $13K total in tuition which is similar to in-state tuition.  This of course does not include room and board.

Not sure if he is going there yet, but this is the package outline:

30 min credits completed and 3.0 average at the end of each academic year (so you add Fall and Spring which allows a Fall slip up to be fixed) You are also allowed to use the Summer semester to improve your GPA to still receive the aid for the following year.

They also have a maintenance plan that if you fall between 2.49 and 2.9 or are above 3.0 but on less than 30 credits, you still receive 80% of the aid. There is a sliding scale based on worse GPA and credits, but it gets to 0% quick.

If you have a violation of conduct, you can lose the aid

There is an appeals system in place if you can prove hardship and there are free services to keep your grades up during the semesters.

Not sure if he is going there,  but is sounds pretty fair to me.
