When I was an undergraduate (70-74) my father paid 50% and left the rest up
to me.  As it turned out, that meant that I had to supply funds for the 2nd
half of my junior year and all of my senior year.  I feel that this made me
value my education all the more, and also gave me a better handle on getting
loans/financial aid.  

The people who finance their own education are more motivated to make the
best use of it.

I am now in grad school (financed by my wife.. I put her through school) and
appreciate not having to work.  But the 1st experience has followed me and
set my study habits/motivations.

Make Them Work For It... They'll Thank You For It
