And that should be presented well before your kid even begins seriously narrowing down their list of schools to apply to.  Kid should know how much you are able to help with for college (and grad school).  And should be helped to understand if their career path includes needing/wanting graduate/professional school.  So if you only have $250K to help with and they want med school/law school/professional school, then explain how much those cost and that it would be best to spend as little as possible for undergrad and have the rest for the future education.  Help them see what $300K in loans for medical school will really mean for their future when they start working at age 28+.

Same if you only have $100K to help them with.  Then they find a school that costs under $25K/year after they contribute from their summer jobs (and plan to work during breaks/PT for 10 hours during school year).
