If I recall correctly a household income of ~100k wouldn't qualify a child for a student loan, but realistically that's ~70k of after tax income and if you have two kids in University you are spending 22% of your take home income on tuition and books, that's pretty substantial when you consider things like rent, food etc...
I believe they removed parental income for student loans recently.
