So although the 52,000 school now costs 21,000 you need to add back in another $7,000 per year if you are honest because you pre-paid with your club payments. So net net you are going to a 52,000 school for 28,000 which is great.

After dealing with this before, go the academic honors award route, way more money with less variables.


agree with the logic but I find not taking a summer vacation and instead doing what I and my son love which is spending weekends together at lax tournaments is kind of a push money wise - $7,000 for summer lacrosse, travels ect vs. $7,000 in Disney - this may not be the choice for everybody but for us it works.
