Anything could have cause the difference in FA between one brother and another, over that many years. The school could be allocating differently now than then.

OP, if you get the Wallin, many colleges then subtract the amount of an outside scholarship from their U grants. Check that. And go back over the FA package. Many families found the COA (full cost) includes some factors you can reduce. Eg, my kids rented textbooks or bought used, rather than buy. Or the cost of school health insurance may be included and you may be covered on your parents’ plan. You have to look at both sides (line item costs and line items on aid, to see.)
