Public school kid, excellent student now applying to private schools for middle school and curious about financial aid awards. We are in the $90,000-100,000 range. Do not own, have no savings, no help from parents, etc. Interviewers have been very encouraging to us, and my daughter is excited and hopeful...I'm nervous schools won't come up with enough aid. looking at Spence, Marymount, NBS, Fieldston. Anyone have any idea what kind of range award packages are? What schools are generous? Do the schools ask you to finance education?
