<p>I'm currently half way through my junior year and I'm trying to look for opportunities that apply to me, coming from a poor family, where my parents make below 25k annually.</p>
<p>all suggestions are appreciated</p>
<p>If your parents make under 25K, you will likely have an expected family contribution (EFC) of zero at most schools. Schools that guarantee to meet 100% of need will pay for your entire education. Usually loan free, especially with an income of 25k.</p>

<p>Yes, they would.</p>
<p>Kevin, I assume you are asian-american, not asian, and are here legally.</p>
<p>No, I am a Chinese immigrant who came over 6 years ago</p>
<p>LAC’s are a good bet, as are ivies. If your state U has a good program for low income students, that would be good (in MI, UM has great aid for the lowest income in state students).</p>
