We have two children, ages 15 and 13. For some reason, I cannot find any real information on what colleges will expect you to pay based on your income, and how to do that without borrowing money.
Google a practice FAFSA form, and that'll give you an idea of what "they" expect your family contribution to be. It'll be more expensive than you think it should be.
In terms of financial aid, with an income of 63K, I suspect you'll be offered loans and work study.
As for scholarships, talk to your daughter's high school counselor. Our county has a great data base of scholarships, but you have to sift through and disregard the ones that don't fit your student. Scholarships are not easy to get, and full-rides have essentially disappeared over the last 5-6 years; apply, but at the same time be sure you apply to at least one school you can afford if NOTHING comes through.
As for how to do it without borrowing, that's harder to find. Most college cost websites assume you will be borrowing -- and that you're totally cool with that. I remember one college Open House we visited: We were talking to the financial aid people (I hadn't yet realized that was a total waste of time, and 100% of the information they provide is also available online). The financial aid officer was telling a couple of us how to apply for loans (nothing else) and was telling us that 100% of the students at their college have loans. I didn't believe that, and I said so -- yeah, I know, I should've just kept my mouth shut, but I didn't. He insisted, and I said, "Out of 27,000 students at this school, you're telling me that not one set of parents managed to save enough to pay their kids' tuition? Not one?" When he continued to insist that the (very reasonable) tuition is simply more than parents can possibly manage to save, I told him he was full of it, and I walked away. Yeah, I should definitely have kept my mouth shut, but I know he was wrong.
Back to the point:
I have a college junior and a high school senior, and the reason college money is so difficult is that it includes SO MANY moving pieces:
What if she goes to School A but gets a big scholarship? Will that be better than School B at full price?
Is School B a better fit for her, and is that more important than the small price difference?
School A's tuition is higher, but School B's living expenses are higher, and School C is cheapest of all but will she be admitted?
Should I encourage her to become excited about School C, given that she can only attend if she gets a significant scholarship?
If she sticks with Major A, School A is the obvious choice; but I really think she's going to switch to Major B, and School A stinks for that major.
How much will the out-of-state transportation add to the cost of School B?
How much will each school's cost increase over the course of the years?
And you have to make up your mind BEFORE the scholarships come through!
It's not like, say, buying a house or a car. Those prices are much easier to nail down!
Every serious college student and every involved parent go through these questions, and so many people -- guidance counselors and college staff -- push you to "follow your heart" and don't want to talk about money.
