<p>We have committed to our kids to get them through their undergrad with no loans, We will allow them to finance their grad school education themselves, then, depending on how life looks when they are done, we might choose to pay off the loans they've incurred.</p>
<p>One thing to consider about grad school, many year ago, my H's parents did not want him to attend a grad school program and offered very little support-financially or emotionally- they thought he should not do the program, BUT their finances were considered in financial aid calculations, even though he was 25. I don't recall the details and this may have changed now, but it may be that a families situation would prevent the student from qualifying for much aid, that may affect the family attitude about helping out!</p>
