Are you certain that your family will not qualify for any aid? Some schools (granted, they are tough to get into) offer need based aid for families that make up to $200k per year. It might be worth running some NPCs at schools like that and see what the number is - otherwise, it is going to be tough to meet a $25k per year budget. Also, I wouldn’t suggest borrowing $100k for undergrad (which it sounds like you would be doing). That is a heavy burden to start off with. Will your parents contribute nothing to college?
