She doesn’t have to attend Pitt in order to be a surgeon. In fact she would have been better served attending a UC where the costs would have been lower and depending on the number of people in your household, with 104k in income she may have been eligible for a Calgrant. For med school at schools that give need based aid, the school will still ask for your income and assets. Your family needs to keep her undergrad debt as low as possible

At 104k you are not eligible for any federal grants and since you are OOS, you are not eligible for any PA state aid… It looks like this is not an affordable option for your family ask your OOS cost will be the 30k after the scholarship

Is Oregon going to be affordable? It is not a matter of how much a school is giving you, but a matter of how much you can afford to pay over the cost of 4 years. If there are no affordable options your D may need to consider a gap year and come up with a list of more affordable options
