Why aren’t any of your parental figures paying? You may have to emancipate yourself legally to receive aid.

I suggest you look at schools with huge merit scholarships. There are schools where the majority of the students receive impressive financial incentives. And some are good schools. Beloit is one. I ran across one lately that I can’t recall.

And you should also look at schools where the sticker price is less. There are many.

Obviously, you can’t cover this yourself. You wouldn’t be able to take out all this loan money, and if you could, loans would bury you.

You need some professional financial counseling.

Is there a way you can approach parents or do they really have no resources? If they don’t, then your award may be fine.
