<p>@lululemonxx…I think you are a bit misinformed. The OP would qualify for a Pell Grant, and the $5500 Direct Loan…which in total would be about $11,000. This will NOT pay for a residential college. In many places, this will barely pay for a year of tuition at a residential public university,</p>
<p>To the OP…what ARE your SAT scores? Those will be used to determine your merit aid potential.</p>
<p>Does your state have any aid for very low income students? Some states do. You need to find this out.</p>
<p>Do you have any relatives who love near a community college or public university in your state who might be able to offer you very inexpensive or free housing?</p>
<p>And do read the threads in Kat’s post. </p>
