TAG is $10k/yr at the max and continually threatened by congressional defunding. The different between in-state and out-of-state at most public schools absolutely swamps this difference - for the public schools I got into, it was $40k difference in in-state vs out-state. > Also most private school aid packages are very good, if you are poor you will probably get a full ride at a school like American or GW. entirely orthogonal point - this equally applies to any poor student, doesn't matter that you live in DC. anyone who wants to go to a public school has access to this
