[quote=Anonymous]Do what you can OP. My parents had very little saved for us due to huge medical bills that came about before my mother passed. Both of my brothers wound up going the military route, so I inherited their college money. It ended up totaling about $20,000. My freshman year cost out of pocket $18,000, while having a $12,000 scholarship. I transferred to a public school after that where about 75% was covered by athletic scholarships, and paid the remainder myself. Even if my brothers had gone to school and I'd received less from my parents, I would have been fine. I think the biggest thing is encouraging the student to work while in school (it really isn't all about having free time to go to parties and hang out) as that will help keep the loans down, and choosing an affordable school.[/quote]
