[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - These are helpful responses, for the most part.  We are in MD, so I'd love for both kids to go to UMD, but older one is already expressing interest for out of state somewhere.  I'd like to cover their undergrad expenses and am pretty sure I can for in-state based upon what I've read on UMD's, Towson's, etc., websites.  Based on what posters have said, it sounds like for out of state and private, my kids just need to apply and see what aid is offered if they're accepted, then decide if it's financial advisable.  We've come into some financial challenges and I'm not sure I can continue to fund them beyond what's currently in there, and I don't expect much additional growth since they're both near maturity, i.e., 2021 and 2024 life cycle funds.[/quote]

Purdue, Clemson, Pitt would be in budget most likely, but not, say, Umich. [/quote]

OP, if your child simply wants to travel, try Miami of Ohio, U of South Carolina, UVM, Alabama, Arizona State, U of Arizona, etc.  There are state schools that offer large merit scholarships to just about anyone with the necessary stats.  Other state schools don't offer anything to out-of-staters.  You just need to educate yourself and tell your children your financial limits.  Nothing wrong with that.[/quote]
