We have a kind of similar situation. My daughter is 17 and we didn't get any financial aid at all for next year's schooling. Her dad doesn't want her to get any student loans, but I asked him how he thinks she's going to pay for it without any loans? (maybe he thinks the money is going to come from a tree?)

This is what we have done. We made a financial spreadsheet with all our contributions on it, her work-study, etc. It breaks down who is paying for what and how much. She has to get a loan or work to cover the rest. I suggested she get a loan to cover all of it for freshman year, and save all of her pay for sophomore year. That way there's no pressure to make the bills this year and she'll have a more realistic idea next year of how much she can actually work and earn.

I suggest that you and your husband decide how much you can afford, write the kid a check, and tell him that you love him.
