<p>I am planning on attending UNC, and I know that I will not be getting any federal financial aid. But my family is in the place where my parents make enough to not qualify for aid, but not enough that we could easily just pay $20,000 a year out of pocket. My parents are depending on me to get a few scholarships to help ease the cost. </p>
<p>But most of the ones that I’ve been able to find rely on financial need, and I worry that I don’t have a chance because technically I don’t have any financial need at UNC. Does anybody know of some scholarships that do not have financial aid as a requirement or that do not weigh it heavily? I have straight A’s and good SAT scores, but this whole financial need thing has really been an issue when searching.</p>
