Could I get a full ride anywhere?

So I probably shouldn’t apply to CC ED if I am not sure if we will be able to pay for it right? EA sounds good though.



Correct.

For an academic safety that might appeal to someone who likes Colorado College, check out Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington. It is a public liberal arts college on the “Colleges that Change Lives” list ([Colleges That Change Lives](http://www.ctcl.org/)). The full-price cost of attendance, for out of state students, will be about $15K-$20K cheaper than private LACs. However, after financial aid from all schools is factored in, it may not be any cheaper than those schools. So it’s not an ideal financial safety but still worth a look (along with many others on that CTCL list). They do award some merit scholarships but I don’t know how much of it might go to out-of-state applicants. Apparently they award finaid to some international students, so you’d think a Texas resident might have a shot at it too.
