A lot of the top-tier private schools are like this, it is a needs-based tuition. It works because of large endowements from all the trust-fund's parents I guess..
of course, all the state schools keep getting slashed, and are still expected to comptete... The % of aid from the State to URI for instance has declined REMARKABLY in the last 30 years, and it is supposed to be the state's flagship school... |

These are the things that will happen when a state seems to do whatever is possible to drive businesses out of the state. |

I'd wager it is the same at most state schools, I was using URI as an example |

Ross.... Your def in a pinch,,,, Might be time to sit down with her and talk to her about what is financially possible....
The talk my dad gave me before I went to college in Florida was " Tom, I will be able to help you much more financially if you don't buy a rice rocket and concentrate on your studies while your away at college" .... Took me 2 seconds to do the math on that one even at such a young age......
So the example.... (name) I would be able to help you so much more if you (insert what you think her best path is here)

In that field it's where you get your MFA that counts. You can't do much working for anyone else in the art world without one.
Go to an in state school, major in art, and if she nails it 3.5 or better - then you'll talk. If she can't graduate with honors in art from a state school, she ain't got it.
My wife got a 3.5 as an undergrad and was offered an assistantship with a tuition waiver for free ride for her masters (student affairs) where she got a 3.9
Now she's a dean.

i was rather lucky as i steered my boys into the trades. you can always find work if you good and have something on the ball.
i cannot imagine trying to find the moneys to send my boys to school today. it used to be that the pell grants really helped with the lower income people. now it seems that the haves want to keep the havenots out of college.
maybe become a prof. as the salares top 100,000 for 6 mo. of work???

put them back alive. i do have grandkids.
as your hair gets whiter, your gear gets lighter.
