HYPS have some of the most generous financial aid packages in this country and are 100% grant. The other Ivies are also fairly generous. The issue for those schools is the difficulty of getting in. If you need financial aid, strike the UC’s off your list as there is little if any money for out of state students.

Start looking at affordable match and safety schools, starting with your state flagship, perhaps its honor college(s)/programs. Besides starting with in- state pricing, merit aid may be available along with financial aid.
