It is difficult to tell what scholarship money might be available without an actual GMAT score and considerably more information about your son's work experience. One thing you can do is ask the schools about the average indebtedness of their students on graduation. Comparing those figures to costs can give you some idea of the averages, but not of your son's particular situation. I notice that many of the schools on the list are in New York so I assume you are looking for in-state tuition. That is probably your best chance for minimizing the cost of the degree. You can always talk to the financial aid departments in your target schools and ask for their recommendations.

Your son might also be able to talk to the placement department in his undergraduate institution and see what they advise. The placement counselors may know which schools look favorably on their graduates and what the costs usually are.

Several factors besides the GMAT will affect your son's ability to get financial aid. What is his work experience? What was his undergraduate GPA? What has he done in the community? What kind of recommendations will he provide? Graduate admissions is very competitive and the committees look at many factors. You might try to find a good book about b-school admissions. A good book can help guide you through the process and show your son how to make the most of his strengths.
