[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are DC residents and have two kids in public schools. We only chose publics that offered great merit aid. Most publics do not, therefore the 10K in DC TAG is not that advantageous. So do your homework and look at schools that offer good merit aid, which can change between now and 10 years from now but still good to take a look now because you can glean some trends. In terms of whether your current nest egg is enough? I can only say keep saving! Many families are in the "make too much, but not enough" scenario, so rarely qualify for federal financial aid (free money). But some schools will offer their own aid packages even if you get rejected from the federal aid. There is no easy answer. Don't stop saving, save what you can, and hope your child does well enough in school, has enough extracurricular activities, and definitely applies to privates that offer merit aid.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you for this insight. Can you share which public s are offering good merit aid right now?  I am understand the landscape can change, but a starting point is good. [/quote]

Midwestern and Southern schools[/quote]

Ones in Wyoming, New Mexico, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Arizona & the Dakota’s too. [/quote]

Also New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. And Maryland and Virginia (though not UVA/WM/VT).[/quote]
