<p>As you are finding, Pennsylvania is a bad place to be if you are low income trying to afford a state university. It would be wise to relax the distance restriction in order to find more options with better financial aid and scholarships.</p>

His stats would pick up full rides at Tuskegee and Prairie View A&M and full tuition at a few more places (though it looks like just full tuition would still be a financial stretch for you and him). Higher ACT or SAT scores would open up more options, so it would be a good idea for him to try both tests.</p>
