What does "limited funding" mean?

Whether you “believe” that colleges will see your need for financial aid doesn’t matter. If they don’t have the budget, and you don’t fulfill a need for them, (as mentioned by @skieurope) then it’s not going to happen. They’ve already said they have limited funding. The pandemic has hit the universities hard and their endowments have tanked. You’re not a US citizen, so you wont qualify for any funds that emanate from federal (grants/loans/work study) or state funding.

You need to find a safety that you can afford and will accept you.

Did you attempt the NPC to get a semi-estimate of your costs??
