I’m a rising senior who will apply this upcoming year. I have 2 younger brothers who still have to go to college so my parents can’t justify spending too much money on me for college. Unfortunately my family is in that tough spot where we make enough where we won’t get a lot of need based aid but not enough to really afford it all therefore I’m trying to stay ahead by knowing all I can about aid. I just want to make sure I’m understanding this all correctly. The Bloomburg, Hodson-Gilliam, and Hopkins scholarships are all need-based with no addition application, correct? It says on the website that it’s “highly competitive” but gives nothing else. Also can anybody correct me where I’m wrong and can current students give examples of how you paid for it all.
