Seems like you are in a stressful finance situation in terms of tuition. How about attending your older brother’s school as well? Maybe that would save a few bucks here and there…

In short, one of my alma maters - Ohio State University is currently offering scholarships for Out of State as well as International Students as an attempt to recruit top students from around the country if not the world. It has one of the top engineering schools in the country, and it’s currently construction a $150 million CBEC Research Facility (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering). It is currently the only Top-20 Public University in the nation that offers scholarship to the OOS and International Students.
