The above link is for current scholarships…and is updated. But check each college anyway…to be sure.

This above link is an old one…of lower cost colleges. It’s likely that they are STILL lower cost…but you will need to check the costs on each college website for current costs.

If your father wants you to attend HYPSM or some other elite school…and he will only contribute $10,000 a year…I’m going to guess…it’s not going to happen. Your mom’s income alone would necessitate a cost of $35,000 plus from the family. Add your dad’s income in…and likely your family contribution will,exceed the cost of attendance.

You could look for Profile schools that do NOT ask for or use non-custodial parent information…but you may find…they also aren’t quite as generous.

If you need significant merit aid…absolutely…you will need to look at less selective colleges where your stats stand out from the crowd.
