Colleges with best need-based finantial aid

<p>Chapel Hill is November 2nd for priority, and that is just the application … I am almost certain I read that the supplemental material can arrive later. That would be worth a shot if OP can do a great essay in a short amount of time.</p>

<p>UNC Chapel hill priority deadline is November 2, but the deadline for applications for admission to the university for those who plan to apply for the Pogue Scholarship is November 1.</p>

<p>To find the amount of loans you can expect, google for schools’ Common Data Set and check section H5. This shows the average total principal borrowed by most recent graduates (of those that borrowed). Families may borrow additional money to pay their EFC, but this is not considered part of financial aid which is in the student’s name.</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>With that income, their EFC will definitely be 0. You’ll get grants and such, but I’m concerned that you won’t get enough to cover Cost of Attendance and have enough to go home at least once a year.</p>

<p>So the Pogue and the McNair scholarships are merit-based and given to students attending the UNC and USC respectively? These are not at all the type of school that I was thinking of applying to, but if I can’t get good finantial aid at a liberal arts college then maybe they are worth considering. Also, an this web page [The</a> Office of Scholarships & Student Aid at UNC-Chapel Hill](<a href=“http://studentaid.unc.edu/studentaid/type/ssa_scholarships.html]The”>http://studentaid.unc.edu/studentaid/type/ssa_scholarships.html) it says that to be considered for the Pogue scholarship I would just need to apply by the regular decision deadline on Jan. 15; they would then notify me if I qualified for consideration and would ask me to submit aditional materials. Thank you guys so much for your help.</p>
