<p>My daughter emailed me a web link stating that for H if parents income fall under $60,000 the student receive full aid. For income between $60,000 and $75,000, the cost of attending is significantly reduced. In this case this complicates our financial aid thinking and her applying to school as our gross is barely above $63,000.</p>
<p>The confusion starts that Y and P are offering full aid below $45,000 and in that case our gross income is well above $18000 for their calculator. This complicates thing but I need to recalculate it.</p>
<p>I was wondering in this case would Princeton or Yale offer similar financial aid incentives that match H. I think this will be an issue all parents whose kids are seeking financial aid. I am sure it does not affect only our family. This way all parents seeking financial aid would be tempted to apply H only. I hope Y and P make similar offer. </p>
<p>If not so, we have to take a chance and apply H and wait and see what happens as starting this year there will be tremendous financial aid package difference between H and rest of the schools? This is a huge financial aid gap in our case and it would make a significant difference on our budget as for our family $5000 means a big thing as we have other kids who would be seeking college education.</p>
