Regarding the above comment, if someone is low-income, they will get needs-based aid at schools that offer it. I suppose you know that already, though.

However, out-of-state public schools typically do not give need-based FA (as opposed to merit scholarships that some offer). Of course, earning the school’s high-end merit scholarship (that a student from a low income family needs to afford the school) is considerably more difficult than gaining admission.
