Message: [QUOTE="cto, post: 791930, member: 412"] Not all schools participate in this program... and many schools have been scaling back because of financial constraints. Also, those that do participate generally cover only part of tuition... and not such things as room and board. The Edson's were a two-income family -- that suddenly (and at a very young ages) lost their primary wage-earner. Now one smaller salary has to cover taxes, mortgage, utilities, food, heat, transportation, the cost of raising two children, etc. That does not leave much room to save for college expenses. And, by the way, anyone who heard 14-year-old Thomas deliver a eulogy at his father's funeral... knows what a special young man he is. [/QUOTE]
