There's no "not sure" answer. My parents wouldn't have taken them even if it were available.
Probably not, but my parents could not afford any "extras" that I really wanted like gymnastics lessons and playing sports when I was in school. I did do scouts, and by the time I was in Junior High I was paying for all my extras myself out of babysitting money. I started sitting professionally in the 4th grade.
My parents were very prudent financially and saved everything. By the time I was out of college 3 years I was earning more money than my dad, but they were able to help me go to the college I wanted to go to most.
My mother was the first in her family, and the only one of her 4 siblings to go to college. I think both of my father's parents were college educated.
