[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP's point is that people who could pay tuition are not always saving for college and thus, getting aid, while those who perhaps have similar or less earnings but save are not receiving aid, which might lead some to concur it is counter intuitive to live frugally and save. [/quote] NP here... Yes but - as has been pointed it earlier - most aid is in the form of loans. Not saving doesn't get a lower middle class student or better a free ride, it just shifts the responsibility from parent to student. [/quote] 16:53 here again. Good point. Unless your family is really low income (under $50,000) or your kid gets into one of the very few colleges with endowments large enough to give substantial grant aid up the income scale (like Harvard), your own failure to save means that your kid will be awarded a big package of student loans.[/quote]
