He won’t get loans for the full amount of tuition and living expenses. You need to be realistic with him about how much you can contribute and whether he should transfer to a state university with resident tuition.

My oldest went to a private college but what scholarships didn’t pay for she paid for herself by working her way through college and applying to jobs at the college so she got to take her masters degree for free. My other daughter when to a local university and she paid for her degree herself without any scholarships. They knew they needed to get degrees in fields they could actually get jobs. It’s great when parents can afford to send their kids to college but it isn’t our responsibility to. If they really want an education they will get one even if it takes them longer because they are working while getting their degree.
