How would one describe the financial aid at Brandeis? Are they generous? I live in a single parent household- my mother makes about $40000-50000 a year, and we are a family of 4 (my older brother is in college and she is struggling to pay the EFC).
I heard they are generous.
Did you try their Net Price Calculator? If your mom’s tax is pretty straightforward (no rental property, no small business or farm), it should give you a pretty accurate estimate.
