I agree with @AustenNut and other posters. I think it would be a very smart move to look into mechanical engineering programs as a tangential move into aerospace is very possible.
If cost is a big consideration then consider New Mexico State. You can plug in your stats to see how much $ you can get. They use an index calculator. Plus, it is a Hispanic serving institution. Florida International is another one I’d look at. Another HSI.
Schools in Texas like Texas Tech and Angelo State could be strong possibilities. Both are HSIs I believe.
Someone mentioned Illinois Tech, which is a great school but not in the best part of town.
Bottom line is that you will have options if you are willing to consider mechanical and the right schools. Do not sell yourself short. Congratulations on your many accomplishments.
