A bit of advice

Unless that school meets full need, it’s likely going to be too expensive for your budget. Borrowing $15,000 per year (way too much) will leave you $60,000 in the hole. You won’t be allowed to borrow that much without a parent willing to cosign.

Even that still leaves a gap of almost $20,000 per year not covered by grants or loans. You should get a small Pell grant, but where does the other $18,000 come from?

You need to look at a less expensive school, unless they make a significant need-based financial aid offer.
