Do you all know of Christian colleges that meet need? Not "help you get loans to afford it" or "apply for this competitive scholarship" but actually prorate tuition to match FAFSA expected family contribution?
In unrelated news, my daughter is a senior & we're in full swing of college mailers/applications, etc. It's been fascinating to see how different schools approach financial aid & who their target student is.
E.g. One flier from a Xian school advertised itself via 3 main bullet points:
>95% career outcome rate
>alumni earnings top 12%
>#X Best Career Services Office Nationally
The accompanying text was about the value of studying in community with others who share your values.

I mean, I get it. If you're making a big financial investment, you want to know that it will pay out in long run. But also, it kinda makes me sad.
And if you do know of a school w/ good financial aid or socioeconomic diversity, please share--would love to boost its signal.
I've been particularly impressed by Berea College in KY--I don't think they'd class as "evangelical" but man, they've got receipts.
Fully integrated & co-ed from the beginning in 1855! The whole college is work-study & particularly accesible to poor, working class, 1st gen college students. I guess I'm just saying, it can be done.
