<p>Oh that’s true. I was thinking that they (parents) could take out Stafford loans I did not realize that even these were restricted for the parents side. You raise a good point!</p>
<p>I do agree that they are affluence and the extra assets on the balance sheet (3 houses!!) are not going to be looked on favorably. It may be that they have to make some sacrifices; kiddo might have to go to Community College for two years or maybe one parent may have to wait to go back to school; it might be tight for every single person in this family to be in college at the same time while supporting grandparents overseas!!</p>
