If your parents make less than 40k per year in salary, would you still have to pay for university?

Question

I am not saying this is the case for my family. I heard from someone that this was possible and just wanted to know if its true.

Answer 1

You will probably have to pay something unless you go to a top tier school like Harvard or Princeton which have developed free tuition programs for families who make less (and by less I mean around 100k so a good deal!)

Answer 2

Im sure you could pay a half and they pay half or more or even less.

Answer 3

Ha! My mother barely makes 25k!  My loan for ONE year of college was 24k.

Isn't life a b****?

She doesn't support me anyways, but still.  Stop complaining that your family makes 40k and grow up.

Answer 4

Yes, but not the full tuition. You might get some financial aid.

Answer 5

Yep, there is nothing free in this world.
