Thank you for those stats, MWolf. You have been very helpful. I am looking for a research university to major in a biology related field. Unfortunately one of my parents makes a lot more than my other parent. The parent that makes less is my custodial parent. Even though one of my parents makes a decent amount more than my other parent, we still would need more FA than is traditionally given to people of this income. This is where it gets complicated because there aren’t that many schools that don’t require non custodial parent info for FA purposes. Obviously I will be applying to merit scholarships too. I would rather not mention my state, but I plan to apply to one of my state schools as a safety.
