Thanks, I did contact them and they suggested applying but didn't say how much they'd cover. The financial aid application apparently asked you to state how much you could afford.
How much we can afford is hard to say. We can afford half of the cost if we put the $ on a credit card or take it out of our home equity line of credit and pay it off over time. We could do the same with a higher cost, but I'd have a harder time justifying that as I said.
My mom thought that 1/2 sounded like a reasonable amount to ask for. More aid would be great, but we're not so low income that we're like free lunch eligible although there have been times when we are (dh's work is a little erratic and he's out of work at times).
She's waiting for a ltr of support from a teacher and then we'll send in the application, the financial aid form and see how it goes. Thanks for the input!
