RPI, in Troy NY is a great engineering school, and they give excellent merit packages to top students. My son is there this year. Initially Case offered more in scholarship money, but RPI came back with additional funds, and Case did not. Things I have read con vice me that it’s extremely difficult to get merit aid as an out of state student at GT. If you decide to apply to RPI, and they do not come back with enough for you, you can appeal their decision, explaining your hardship. From what I understand their business school is also “up and coming” which may interest you. Good luck… There are many parents who simply refuse to pay for college once they get divorced, but it doesn’t make it any easier on you to deal with this, especially after you’ve worked so hard. You should be proud of yourself.
