Truman State’s net price calculator at https://www.truman.edu/admission-cost/net-price-calculator/step-3/?estOption=2 suggests the following for you (3.9 HS GPA, 27 ACT, EFC = $2,000):

$3,000 TruMerit scholarship (automatic for your stats)
$4,145 Pell grant
$1,500 Access Missouri grant

Subtracting this from billed costs of $16,879 leaves $8,234. There are about $4,800 indirect costs (books, travel, etc.), so the price would be $13,034. You can borrow $5,500 with a federal direct loan; if your parents contribute $2,000, then you would be left with $5,534 that you need to earn from work during the summer and part time during the school year.

Truman State is still open for application: https://www.truman.edu/admission-cost/apply-to-truman/#details-0-0 . However, additional competitive merit scholarship selection mostly happens during December through February.
