[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with others that step grandparents have no obligation to pay step grandson’s tuition.

But, I can’t believe that in 11 pages, no one has raised the implications for financial aid for OP’s biological son.

OP, you need to consult someone who specializes in college financial aid.  If you and DH live in one household with both boys and they will be in college at overlapping times, it may substantially affect the financial aid one or both of the boys could receive absent any grandparent contribution to one of them.

OTOH, being able to apply to [/b]a very small percentage of colleges[b] as a full pay student provides a significant boost in the likelihood of getting accepted to college. If your DH’s son doesn’t have above the 25th percentile in grades and test scores of admitted students, he may actually need to NOT get financial aid and buy his way in to family college with Grandparents money.

Please consult a qualified college admissions counselor and financial aid specialist. [/quote]

Fixed that for you. [/quote]
