I'm sure your daughter would be glad for any help. I didn't help with my girls masters. After eight years in a row of college costs, I thought it time to concentrate on retirement. Both went through Northern Iowa since they had study abroad programs they could do in the summer. The youngest actually stepped on the campus once to take the praxis. The other took her praxis in California over the net. My part was that they had no debt and could pay out of pocket as they went. The youngest has never gone over two summers without going back to Mexico to visit her "second mom", the lady who hosted her in Queretaro. Main reason I brought up my point of giving my grandsons money is that the "kids" are sitting on a $500k mortgage and I wanted to know their thoughts on paying for college. He stayed in the Navy reserves, but a $30k haircut for the first three years as a pilot for United. Learned that when my oldest grandson starts school next year, my daughter will start student teaching. That is the money they plan to put back for college, and when the second grandson goes to school she hopes to go back full time. They are planners financially. All her earnings from her three years as a full time French teacher were put back as a cushion for her time off while the boys were little. Coming from parents that lived paycheck to paycheck until close to sixty, I've been in uncharted waters for a long time. I just knew I didn't want to live like that. Perfect retirement: being financially able to do what you want to do, when you want to do it.
