You do not have “full funding” at OSU. Your parents are being asked to take a $10k plus loan.

Case is significantly more expensive than OSU.

You are not being “penalized” by having a mom who earns enough to contribute to your college. Case uses the Profile and requires the NCP form. Thus the contribution from your mom. OSU uses only the custodial parent (it’s a FAFSA only school) so your NCP income and assets were not factored into the award.
