Your calculations don't take grants and scholarships into account. You're right not to count on them, but they're out there, especially for someone working in an "underserved community" (which just about all of Baltimore counts as, from a statistical point of view).

And it's worth asking at this job if they will help with books or partial classes, etc. The worst they're going to say is no.

His job will pay for some of school (I don't know exactly how much) but then he has to stay there for some number of years after he finishes the degree, or pay them back when he leaves. Even if we take the money I'd want to have the amount to pay them back, especially since one of the big perks of the MLS is mobility.

So that's an interest free loan then? :)

Yup! It's something I don't want to count on because I haven't seen the paperwork and I don't know what all the rules are, but I'm hoping that's how it will work out.

This I actually had not thought of, and will need to look into further. Thanks! You are once again gracious and helpful.
