I went to my local major university. It was a grad student (supervised by her professors) but they were very familiar with gifted. It was on a sliding scale based on income and then another discount because we agreed to participate in a gifted study for someone's research. The research just meant that included in our packet of forms that we filled out for the evaluation were two or three additional forms (it was easy to see which forms might possibly be the research but they were not labeled). And without identifying information they were able to use the other information from the evaluation (like correlate the WISC score with the thing they were measuring).
I wouldn't have been able to afford it if I hadn't gone there. But I had to balance that with the fact that she was a student. I think she did a fine job.
