An ACT of 30 would be a hard admission to UF. UCF and FSU are more likely.

A Florida resident would get Bright Futures to use at a private school (if qualified). I think it is about $215 per credit for the top award to be used at a private school. There is also the Florida resident grant (I think it is called EASE now) of about $3500. For a low income student, there is the SEOG and a FL-SEOG.

Some Florida catholic schools are St. Leo, Barry, Ave Maria (very religious). Some smaller LACs are Florida Southern, Flagler, Lynn. Many of the smaller private colleges have some religious affiliation, like Palm Beach Atlantic. Flagler, while not Catholic, is next to a cathedral and in a very catholic town.

There is a poster who received full aid (with Pell, BF, EASE, and other aid) to Flagler this year.
