Florida is a huge state, so would UF, FSU, and either USF or FIU be far enough (5 hours or more from home)?

What’s the total in your college fund?

Outside/local scholarships are always small, often 1-year only, and can be deducted from your financial aid package. Not a good bet (they’re a nice complement to help pay for books for instance but usually can’t pay for college).
The best financial aid comes from the universities themselves. Some may meet 100% need without loans, some may meet 100% need - those are the most selective. “Need” means “based on your parents’ income and savings”.
Run the NPC on Davidson, St Olaf, Holy Cross (MA). Would they be affordable?

If they’re not, then you need to look for merit. For this, look into U Arizona, U New Mexico, UAlabama, as well as Colleges that Change Lives (look through the website- they offer excellent merit aid for the most part - if you see some of interest, ask here and we’ll provide info about specific colleges).
If you identify as a girl, look into Bryn Mawr, Agnes Scott, Mount Holyoke.
