[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who are full pay for undergrad, will you make your DC use loans to pay for law or med school or help them out? Both DCs talking about law/med, and we hadn’t planned for this. Because of our income they won’t qualify for aid.[/quote]

Can't they be declared independent for grad school and apply for loans that don't reflect your finances? I think it is increasingly becoming popular to work for a year or two, particularly before law school, which would make this even easier (plus they could save up a little bit, though probably not much).[/quote]

This^[/quote]No. I was 30 years old and married when I went to law school.  I hadn't gotten a cent from my parents in 10 years.  The law school still required my parent's financial information to be able to qualify for loans.

What they don't want to do is give any financial aid to someone like Tiffany Trump.  She may look poor on paper as a 20-something, but has a dad with deep pockets.  Financial aid in law school is for people with absolutely no means, like living in a homeless shelter or refugee camp poor.[/quote]
