re: Would you fund your kid's IVY league education if you could?

I assume, in this scenario, your nephew's parents are rich enough where payment is required. Princeton is totally free (tuition, room & board) if a family makes up to $100k LINK. I'm pretty sure Harvard and Yale operate in a similar way.

I have a cousin who graduated from Yale within the last 10 years. She comes from a conservative family, very religious. I believe she attended some summer math programs either there or at MIT while she was in high school. Her faith didn't get shaken, she didn't become some sort of "woke liberal".

At the end of the day, if I had a child who was accepted to an Ivy I would send them. It opens so many doors that most likely wouldn't be available to them otherwise.
