Moving my post that I put in the wrong thread about S3’s NPC results from Geneva…
[QUOTE=""]
It never listed anything about a Pell Grant of any sort in the results on 3rd son's when I used that page.. just what I listed on that other thread ...about the Alumni at $12,000, $4.000 in state grants and gift aid at $1,200....(period) ...nothing more ...that's why the figures end up costing over $11,000 per son....

It is possible this calculator just doesn’t get THAT involved until the fafsa is actually completed…then determine what they call a “CSS/Financial Aid Profile” to what a family can afford …

Geneva DOES put a Pell Grant estimate in their aid pkg.
I just ran their NPC using the info you’ve provided, and included “2 in college,” and got the below result.
Since you mentioned about $20k in aid without Pell, what is different in your results than below?
Costs<br>
Financial Aid Gift Aid
Alumni Scholarship $12,000
Pell Grant $4,780
State Grant(s) $4,000
Estimated Total Gift Aid $20,780
Once you add a student loan, and maybe some “summer work money”, maybe this will be more affordable especially if they give that add’l merit award and Perkins.
And…hopefully, S3 will get some of those other scholarships that S2 received.
