[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a fed, DH works at a non-profit. We make 310 combined. 750k mortgage. No other debt. We want to send our two kids private, but at $40-50k a year per kid it doesn’t seem possible. Is there anyone in our situation that actually found a way to make this work? [/quote]

You may get FA especially at a Big 3 or other wealthy school that has a large endowment. NCS does a good job in bringing in more "middle" income (for DC that is - anywhere else you are considered top tier). I assume they give some financial aid to these families and the rest you can pay over a 10 month payment plan. A lot of full pay families also spread out payments all year. It can help to spread it out over the course of the year. [/quote]

We have income similar to OP and received $5k from NCS and $40k from STA (the schools decided their awards completely independent of each other). STA has very generous aid.  we have friends at both Sidwell and GDS at our income and they did not receive anything or received $5kish as well.  [/quote]
