You’d qualify the Amigo Scholarship (guaranteed) at University of New Mexico. With the Amigo, $15K + a federal student loans would cover all your attendance costs with $$ leftover.

UNM’s computer science dept is accredited and well respected. Intel, Facebook, Sandia National Labs, Los Alamos National Labs, Air Force Research Lab are local CS employers. Most major West Coast companies recruit on campus.

P.S. The weather in NM is much nicer than the weather in Illinois OR Alabama.
