@tidepods as others have stated, you cannot receive any financial aid as an OOS student. I receive a $1000 (recurring each year) “scholarship” from CP and that’s it. However, I spent my senior year of HS applying to DOZENS UPON DOZENS of outside scholarships, and were awarded enough to make the cost of attending CP this year even less than in-state schools were offering me + merit aid. Of course, this is only for this year. The cost is the sole reason I’m trying to graduate in 3 years too (also, becoming an RA is a great option if you think you’d fit/get accepted to become one)! It’s a bit late in the game for HS scholarships but still, applying for outside ones is my only real advice. OOS f*cking sucks in that regard, and they are definitely not friendly towards us (look up the “equal opportunity grant” CP is considering right now- it’s absolute BS).
