OP just a thought. Have you tried contacting St. Bonaventure’s FA to see if there is any possibility of more aid? If you are friendly and honest about it, it could be worth a shot. Explaining that your daughter desperately wants to go there, the amount of loans required…
I mean, they might not be able to do anything but you won’t know if you don’t give it a try. I have a neighbor whose son is a freshman right now. She said that he was given work study as part of his package. He’s a student who struggled a bit academically through high school. Mom talked to them and explained that she was worried about him working first semester when he needs to be focused or will fall behind. She said they came up with a grant to cover his work study for this year.
