Carroll's Financial Aid and Tuition Costs Mentioned in USA Today 
Dave Fiore, of Pendleton, Ore., says he "would have made it work" had son Mike been wowed by his alma mater, Santa Clara University in California. But he adds that he "breathed a deep sigh of relief" when Mike, 18, decided Carroll College in Helena, Mont., was the better fit.
With Carroll's lower tuition and more generous scholarship, the total annual cost is about $21,000 - a closer match to the $80,000 in a college trust set up by Mike's grandfather, and about half what he estimates he would have paid to his alma mater.
"I can't imagine owing nearly $100,000 in college debt just for him to be educated at SCU," he says.
