old? I contacted a private school today who offers financial assistance. I would like to know how the schools determine if a child qualifies or not. Is the household income similar to the same guidelines as college? I never qualified for financial aid in college but I'm hoping our daughter will qualify for a private school whose tuition is $12,000.00 a year. There's no way we could afford that on our own. If you have any other ideas as to other programs we can apply for please let me know. Thanks to all!!!!
