[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that parents who say their kids can't attend a private school from the get go often have a very poor understanding of the college process. Merit and need based aid can often even out the costs between public and private options. I'd make sure my kid was aware that his ability to get scholarships will affect his options and that you will need to consider cost in selecting which school he can afford to attend. That's probably enough info for 8th grade.[/quote] I went to an extremely expensive private school and got need based scholarships. My kids wont qualify for need based scholarships and I won't let my kid take on loans. It’s a realistic conversation.[/quote] If your kid is an attractive candidate many private schools will significantly reduce the cost of attendance for them. [/quote]
