bc. private schools are pricy but many offer financial aid. If your family qualifies (for example if their income is low or they have other children in college) then you will find that you would receive need based aid from most any college. Ask your parents to use one of those on-line calculators to determine how much you would be eligible to receive.

If the need-based aid isn’t enough you should look into merit based aid. Many colleges will give financial aid to high achieving, talented students. Take a look at the thread at the top of the Parents board for some ideas.

Your grades, your art talent, your ethnic background would make you a person of interest to many colleges. So first determine how much and what kind of aid you would qualify for then come back for some ideas.
