Even if you get married the only aid you’ll qualify for is the full Pell grant (~$5k/year), but you should get that anyway based on your mom’s income. You can also take the federal student loan (~$5500/year). That means you need a full tuition award. Your other posts say you’re an OK resident with a 4.0 UW GPA and 36 ACT. Check the list of guaranteed merit schools (pinned to the top of the financial aid forum) and make sure you apply to some of them. It’s important that your list has financial safeties (schools where you have a good chance of getting admitted, that will give you merit aid for those stats, and that you’d be happy attending).
