[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zero.  from FAFSA.  I think the previous posters are lying.  From FAFSA at 250K HHI I think the D of Ed will say you should fund at 100 percent, which is what happened to us[/quote]

CSS will give you a lot more, especially if you have multiple kids [/quote]
Not our experience.  Nothing from FAFSA or CSS, even with multiple kids.[/quote]

Anyone running an NPC can see that you are lying [/quote]
dp.. our AGI in 2022 was $160K. We ran the NPC for a $80K school. We got zilch.

We had $140K in the 529 for DC plus some cash savings that was going to go into our 401K and for our retirement reserve (it was like $200K).  We are in our mid/late 50s.

I guess the expectation is that we should wipe out our savings for this one kid (we have more than one) to pay for college.  Screw the other kids, I guess.[/quote]

Try other schools. You should qualify for need based aid at some. Does tge one you checked offer merit aid? Those with a merit aid usually have much lower income cutoffs for need based aid.[/quote]
