I have an uncle that will step in to cover the gap for funding. Whatever is leftover for “parents” to cover after financial aid, he will help with. We haven’t solidified what the help will be yet, and whether that will cover books, travel, etc., or just tuition and board, but he’s on board, as long as it’s a school with a decent reputation and a place that’s accredited, with a decent chance of graduating in four years.
I was hoping for merit scholarships based on his GPA, but once the ACT score came in, that went out the window. The links for data sets help, but I was wondering if the dual enrollment or homeschooling made a difference in the applications (in other words, is an honors program/4.0 at a community college enough to counter his test scores?)
I will go look at some of the links now.
