Absolutely! </p>
<p>I’m just suggesting Bama as a “just in case”. The scenario that the OP has presented, parents helping grandparents, parents going back to school (maybe grad school), high income, assets, etc, the student could easily end up with no affordable choices. </p>
<p>If the parents are going for masters degrees, then likely they will be expected to pay all costs. If they’re completing bachelors degrees, again, they’ll be expected to pay all costs. Calif aid isn’t extended to “older students”, and their EFCs will be too high for fed aid.</p>
