<p>I was planning on going to UNC Chapel Hill this fall, but because my parents are only contributing about $12,000 a year, I had figured that I would take out a loan to cover the rest (tuition at UNC is $32k). However, I found out recently that I couldn’t get a student loan large enough to cover UNC tuition because I have no credit history, and my parents don’t want to co-sign a loan that large. Instead I deposited at SUNY Binghamton, which only costs $17k because I’m a New York resident, athough I’m not sure how much I’d really want to go there. </p>
<p>So I’ve been looking at Washington (at Seattle), and was thinking about applying for the Winter quarter. The main question is, in addition to whether I’d get in, whether I’d be given a scholarship. If not, obviously I couldn’t go there at this point (until I have enough credit to take out a loan in my own name). So would I be a candidate for scholarships, and if so, is there a certain amount I could expect to be given?</p>
