Contrary to what the PP implied, you are not expected to cash out your retirement to pay for tuition. However, saying that you can't pay full tuition because you are making repairs on your rental properties is not a particularly compelling reason to get aid.

But bottom line, DCUM does not make financial aid decisions so I would discuss your situation with the financial aid person at the school.

Given that you won rental properties it is unlikely, do both of your children attend private school?

i'd be pissed if you get it. You are not the kind of people who should be taking need-based aid from those who need it.

At that income you should be able to afford it.

Do you have any spare cash or retirement? Any equity I. Your house? It sounds unlikely to me.
