I'd love to send my kids to George Mason. Can't afford it

Beat the Kids till they get their grades up and get a scholarship!

I know squat about it but there are some nice grants out there...have you done any on line hunting?

Have done some scholarship applications, but it is very disheartening. So many of them are given to 'disadvantaged' people, people of non-white racial backgrounds. It is literally possible, despite grades, for a black kid to go to college for free. Between government grants, tax breaks and scholarships tilted in their favor, they can have it all at almost any university.

Because my kids have the misfortune of living in a upper-middle class household with TWO parents, they can get nothing. Not even a subsidized federal loan.
