@Northeastmom posted:Thanks, Fafsa did away with the multiple kids in college rule, so now everyone pays everything essentially. The numbers are scary.
Many schools are now SAT optional. The GPA requirement I assume becomes more important in that situation.
The test scores are an NCAA rule, not school. And I also believe even if your kid attends a test optional school (my son's is this) you still need to meet the NCAA SAT/ACT requirement.
FAFSA will cover state aid as well. I know when we had 1 kid in college we weren't eligible for anything, but my 2022 started they both are receiving some state aid and I believe we'll lose it once the oldest graduates. This is NYS and qualifies for NYS schools (pub or private).
You should take a look at the NCAA Eligibility center for the NCAA class requirements. The standards are extremely low, but you'll want to make sure your son is taking the appropriate classes as in HS.
