<p>I've been accepted at Rose-Hulman and have received my financial aid package. I have 21,400 in gift aid and 12,000 in loans (3100 being the one-time laptop loan). One outside scholarship (that I know of right now) of 2500, 5500 in savings, and...yeah, that's it for now. What I want to know is: how viable a plan is it to count on money made during co-op sessions to help defer or even eliminate completely the amount of debt I'll graduate with?</p>
