Chances of receiving financial aid?

@Rivers4 ,

Normally, this would be awesome advice: Berea College. Huge endowment, never really mentioned on these boards, and a terrific all-around philosophy.

But unless things have changed (and I am too tired at 2:46 a.m. to find out), the OP’s family income of 130K would be too high for Berea. Berea used to (and still does?) only open its doors to low-income families, particularly those from Appalachia (OP fits this criterion if he is from WV). But the 130K income would put him out of the running.

However, yes, OP, Berea College gives full scholarships to all students who are accepted. You might look into it, but I believe that your family’s income is too high to qualify.
