[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure you gave already, but to others who may be interested, Harvard has very robust financial aid. [/quote] Yes, but not for many DMV upper middle class families who can't afford full pay. [/quote] OP here. This is us. We are just at the edge salary wise and do NOT qualify for free money with FAFSA. But we live in the District and barely make our mortgage while trying desperately to save into our kids 529s. Our kids attend public high school. We have no public university option and rely on DC TAG which at 10K per year def helps but is no where near in state tuition. [/quote] Reiterate your max and let her apply. We were shocked by the amount of merit aid some schools offered and surprised at some that offered none. Worth a shot. Then let her chart what her contribution would be and how long it would take for her to pay it off. Her choice, it’s her life. [/quote]
