I second checking out Iowa State and UN-L. Iowa State you would get very close to your target price just with the automatic merit aid, since you would qualify for the highest level. Any other scholarships, plus working a job would definitely get you in range.

When my D22 applied at UN-L with stats that aren’t as good as yours, she was given very generous merit scholarships…and kept getting more sent her way when she didn’t accept the offer of admission right away. She didn’t prefer UN-L at all, but it had more to do with not being impressed with the department for her major, but being very impressed with the department at Iowa State (Food Science). Her cost would have been lower at UN-L, even with the fact that at Iowa State she gets the Generations (Legacy) scholarship, but that wasn’t enough to sway her.
