I soooo wish ds's school offered any sort of scholarship or financial aid at all.

I normally don't like to quote money on here, but you got me curious, how much are you talking?

minnasmommy

cleo--so do I! this was in reference to phdmom talking about paying for college tuition! summers off. 

minnasmommy

around 10k for 4 1/2 days/week.

minnasmommy:

around 10k for 4 1/2 days/week. 

 Ok, hold up. 

I thought we were talking about 25 - 30K and upwards.  I would totally pay 10K for 4 days.  Especially since you dont pay any other daycare, right?  That is significantly less than we pay for daycare which, granted, is full time, but still.

around 10k for 4 1/2 days/week. 

OK, I was starting to wonder if you were talking $50k! 

minnasmommy

we turned down that option. My MIL is affiliated with a very high-end private on the Upper East Side that she wants S to go to. that's in the 35K range.   we definitely won't do that.  

this school is between 10-12K.   

minnasmommy

oh and it's 2.5 hours/day.

college scholarships?  heck yeah!  but MH and I are happy we're getting in the hang of budgeting tuition now.

Okay, I was definitely assuming Manhattan prices.  The cheapest by far up here is well more than half that!  I think I know which school you mean and I amend my answer... for that price yes!  I figured they'd be 20K minimum!  My sister went there for K&1 and my mom regretted moving to LS and pulling her out because it was such a wonderful school!
