All of the SUNYs except for Geneseo and BInghamton have merit awards. You might want to check out where you stand with those.

SUNY Buffalo runs about $20K a year, boarding there, but off campus housing can be gotten much cheaper after freshman year. They also have an automatic $2500 merit award at certain SAT levels. That with the loans, job and parental contribution of about $10K just might swing it. Other places to look are the local schools where you can commute and also investigate Momfromtexas’s full ride scholarships thread.
