Hillsdale Scholarships and Financial Aid

My child was accepted at Hillsdale, the dream school. We are so very excited. Our merit based scholarship came in and although it’s quite generous, it still leaves a lot to cover. They are working on need-based aid and I am expectant that we will receive some. However, I wonder if anyone knows how much is typically in the form of loans. I really can’t take on heavy loans. Additionally they said they will work on replacing the merit based aid which is unfunded with designated scholarships which are funded. Does anyone know if that happens before admittance or later on in their future years?

My child has been accepted at and offered a very generous merit package at their second choice school and has been invited to participate in their scholars weekend. Attending this weekend guarantees my child a lot more in the form of scholarships to the point that it could be a full ride. While very excited and relieved about a solid second choice, my child still is hoping and praying that it works out to attend Hillsdale. This would be the absolute perfect fit and said child lives and breathes Hillsdale!!!

My sister dated a guy from there, and he regretted going there. He said the kids there are kind of strange there. Lots of homeschooled kids or kids that are not very worldly. You are better off somewhere else. They have a high job placement, but the kids are not making what kids from other schools with similar stats make.
