A lot of people here are rich and can’t get help with paying for college.

If you’re poor, and you have a great kid, chances are there will be a way to send your kid to a place like GMU.

If she’d like to go away to school, she’s a great student and she’s willing to work, take out some loans and go just about anywhere, there’s probably a way for her to go away for college and live in a dorm.

Try not to stress. Just do what you can and hope for the best.

Apply for financial aid and try to save as much as you can.

Does her high school offer dual enrollment? That is another way to keep college costs down. If she could do that she would enter college as a sophomore.
