I completely understand you. I also have a 529 that would cover a bit over 1 year, and I started when my DD entered kinder.
I asked for a tuition discount, but was not successful. They (college student financial services) offered to talk to us, so I’m coordinating that meeting now. Not sure what is going to come out of that meeting, but I’ll let you know.
I think it would be good to start that conversation with the coach or student financial services early (before your daughter accepts, or even applies).

As a follow up to this post, I met with the college financial services.
They reiterated that they are a need-based scholarship only school. They do not discount tuition or boarding nor any fees for that matter. They don’t offer merit or any other type of scholarship.
For their decision, they take into consideration mainly 3 things... (1) home equity; (2) non-401K investments; (3) wages.
They directed me to private scholarships... or loans.
Hope this helps.
