There are a couple of full tuition paid private schools in your area. One is Berea, in Kentucky, the other is College of the Ozarks. Have you considered those? They’re both very selective but for kids in a certain geographic area (Appalachia and Ozarks), much less so. Your ACT is already high for their average. And Berea, which my S applied to, is a great school. Both have a work emphasis.

Berea does charge room and board (though FA or work study can offset that), and your parents have to be under a certain income to apply there. I believe CoA is similar.
