[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pricing out the donut hole family. Got it. It just sucks to be us in every way, shape, and form.

Not poor enough to get FA, but not rich enough to front $30k every year for 4 yrs for in state tuition, and feeling bummed about the frugality and tons of sacrifices over the decades to just to fund 529s, retirement, and general monthly expenses.[/quote]

There are a lot of options out there. Create a new post with your kid's stats and people will suggest. It's how I found out about some great merit for my kids years ago (Tulsa for NMF; URichmond; Davidson Belk scholarship etc). You just have to cast a wide, sometimes haphazard net.

SLACs will have more merit money to give now, with the repercussions from the tax bill. Target them strategically based on your kid's profile, geographic area, major, stats, etc.[/quote]

Top SLACs don't give merit money so nothing changes there. Top SLACs may also become more selective as they are not hit hard by all of the federal budget cuts and as the poster mentioned the top SLACs will get tax savings which offset some or all of the minimal budget cuts that they did get. They already had the best teaching experience of all schools outside of Engineering/CS and these changes will allow them to maintain or improve their teaching and experience advantages relative to their R1 competition.[/quote]

There are a lot of SLACs outside the top 10.[/quote]
