I know in the past, entering MMA came with some modest costs- unlike the other SA's which do not cost an initial investment. Looking at the cost to attend for the class of 2021 vs 2022, the bill is more than double. While $6,337 per year isn't horrible (compared to, say an Ivy League school) it's still a big consideration.
My DS has double nominations to USMMA (a single nomination to his first choice SA) and is at a prep school now. That being said, the cost of attendance is giving us a bit of pause. If he gets a slot but doesn't get a spot at his first choice SA there will be some very hard decisions to make: do the prep school again or go to USMMA?
If you or your child decide to attend, will you pay outright or consider student loans. I really worry about entering the spiral of student loan debt. Are there many (if any) scholarships he can try to get to cover some of the costs?
Do you all have any other thoughts or things we may want to consider?
Thanks for your time and consideration,
