It's very expensive but he will have to have financial aid.
Have him read those aid papers very carefully. The preponderance of financial aid these days is in the form of loans. Many students have not been careful and ended up in financial bondage. Have him take a look at some of the stories on studentloanjustice.org and read Anya Kamenetz's book Generation Debt. Ms. Kamenetz is an unashamed liberal and gets downright whiny in many places, but still wrote a very eye-opening book.
Thank you very much.
Agreed 100%!! They are looking for MERIT scholarships, not loans that have to be repaid.
