One idea is to apply in Canada or Europe (Germany has free tuition; UK is one year, the Netherlands and Austria were other places to look, etc.)

Another idea is to apply to a doctorate with a master’s along the way. Terminal master’s are expensive but master’s that are part of a doctorate tend to be fully funded. At least from my experience.

I have no idea about merit aid, honestly. We did a FAFSA but when a program is funded, you don’t need it. Funding at the school I know best is the same for everyone, regardless of income or merit. The merit part is in being admitted in the first place!
