Scholarships for OOS kids

Ok, so looking through old threads, it appears that UI does not give much OOS aid(unless you have amazing stats, but I hope I am wrong). My dad went to UI and I’ve been to campus a few times, went to a football game, think it would be a nice place to go to college. But it costs nearly 40k OOS, and that is too much for my family. We could probably swing 25k, maybe 30k, but 40k is just too much.

Here is just a basic rundown of my stats. (Note I’m just a rising junior)

GPA: 3.85ish UW, 4.2 W, 4-5 APs
Rank: School does not release rank, but I think somewhere in the 5-10% area
ACT 31-32, maybe a little higher.
ECs: Eagle Scout, Track/Field, Model UN, small role in school paper, Social Justice club, good amount of volunteer work, serve communion at Church, work since 14, and a few other things.

And I’m a legacy, so maybe I’ll qualify for a few schollys because of that?

Do I have a shot at some merit aid to bring the cost down?

Thanks
