Hard working tax paying middle class should be rewarded not punished for the society and country to be healthy.

I didn't say that, but middle class is surely getting punished.

Real middle class are getting financial aid. You mean wealthy DCUM middle class who live in million dollar homes and choose not to save and yet demand their kids go to the most expensive schools. The rest of us, who are real middle class live within our means, or under our means to save for state school.

I think my family is real middle class. 4 kids, $110k combined income. DD got $0 in financial aid.

That is middle class but having 4 kids is a choice. Most of us stop at 2 so we can afford our kids needs.

We stopped at one. And still will be punished for it. Even in state schools are $30/year. And then forget any grad school on top of it. And no, DC should not have to work and defer grad school (delaying the benefits that come with a full career, including retirement, health benefits, home ownership) just to save for an education. DC would be saving the rest of DC's life to afford it.

We have $300K combined income. 3 kids. two of them are twins.
We got substantial discount for having multiple kids in colleges at the same time.
(doesn't need to be the same college)
I think it's called sibling discount. Public schools don't offer this.
See if you can take advantage of this.

FAFSA was 'reformed' to remove that discount

That's why I said ' Public schools don't offer', however most private schools with CSS still do.
So my kids were able to say no thank you to UVA VT and go to OOS Privates.
One kid probably needs to full pay for the last year though.

So if you're a family that can afford in state, but can't afford private school tuition, the solution is worthless. If you can stretch enough, then the solution is to send kid 1 to public school as a freshman, have kid 1 transfer to private and tell kid 2 to apply only to private, and then make kid 2 transfer 2 public after kid 1 graduates?
