I think you have a great shot and could get a lot of FA!



UR has silently changed their loan policy in the past year, at least I never saw any announcement about the change. Previously they limited loans to $4000. Now it appear that they are using Stafford loan guidelines of $5500 frosh, $6500 soph, & $7500 Jr/Sr years. That’s $16,000 vs. $27,000 over 4 years. UR still has very good FA, just not as good as in the past. They use FAFSA and do not include home equity as an asset.

A scholarship would probably be hard to come by with your test scores. The Richmond Scholars program is very competitive and if you got anything less than a full scholarship, you would still need financial aid.
