Great news: PoS has received scholarships to every school to which she applied.
Bad news: College is expensive!

We're no closer to making a decision about school.  We've submitted the FAFSA (financial aid) form to all four schools and now all we can do is wait to see how much aid they award us.  There's a pretty big gap between what she's been awarded in scholarships and how much tuition and room & board are per year.  That's right.  Those costs below aren't for four years, that's the price annually.  Take a look and then say a prayer for my nerves because mama is stressed out!

Moving Right Along

Dates have been set for our spring visits to two of the schools at which PoS has been accepted.  We'll hit up Knox College in Galesburg, IL mid-April and Beloit College in Beloit, WI that same weekend.  It just so happens that Knox's admitted student visit day is on a Friday and Beloit's is on that Monday.

Knox actually has a campus visit day in January, but Ms. "I Don't Mind Going to School in Cold Weather" said she'd rather wait for spring.  It'll be interesting to see how that waiting for spring works out for her in whatever cold state she eventually lands.
