You can run the Net Price Calculators at schools that interest you to see how affordable they might be. Try the Harvard calculator - it’s very simple compared to most, and they are one if the most generous schools for need-based aid. If it doesn’t predict aid close to what you are looking for, then need-based aid is probably not going to be the answer for you.

Penn State is an obvious choice - it’s a good engineering school and in-state public costs are hard to beat.

You might look at NC State, Clemson, or Auburn, all strong engineering schools where you might be offered large merit aid.
