Lehigh--good school--very similar to Villanova--with a good business program--especially in finance. (around top 25 to 30 program) Average cost to attend: $37,000 Average "free aid": $20,000 Average loans from college: $3,000

University of Richmond--good school--business program is probably in top 20 or so. Average cost of attendance: $40,000 per year Average free money: $17,000 Average loans $3,000

Gettysburg College: good school (slightly better than Lehigh and Villanova, but not at same level as Richmond, which is not at same level as Georgetown). Business and political/government are primary programs. Cost of attendance: $38,000 Average free money: $24,000 average loans: $4,000 (a pretty good bargain, I'd say)

Another school I would consider if I were you is Pepperdine in California.
It's known for having a good business program (top 25 or so) (my boss went there). The cost to attend is a high $36,000 per year, but the average "free aid" is $30,000, and average loans are $5,500--so you can't get much more free than that.

Anyway, I hope this helps--and write back or post if you have more questions (although also realize that I have a regular job and will be travelling internationally for my work during the next few weeks--and therefore won't be available from Dec 4th to Dec 17.)

Good luck.
