@cccjbac I don’t think you can be worrying about an “ideal school” at this point just some place that she won’t be gapped. It looks to me that Alabama would be a good fit so she just needs Room and Board and Books.
She should apply to as many local one time scholarships to help offset the the cost of room and board for the first year, I’ve heard the first year meal plan is very pricey at UA but her room and board cost should go down in future years when she moves of campus.
