Full tuition scholarships would not be enough for a student whose family will not pay anything and likely doesn’t qualify for much/any Pell Grant. She’s giving her family’s net income (after taxes) not gross. Likely the income is closer to 6 figures.
And, I doubt any of those schools will give full tuition for an ACT 30. I personally know an ACT 31 student, Val of her class, who only got half-tuition award to UDallas (the Catholic Univ…not UTDallas).
If this student runs the NPCs on schools’ websites, she CANNOT use the family’s “net income” (after taxes)…she has to use the income before taxes.
Frankly, Catholic univs are pretty bad about offering HUGE merit, which is what this student needs. They may have a couple of “free rides,” but usually reserved for spectacular stats ALONG with fabulous community service ECs or similar.
More likely this student will need to attend a non-secular Univ. If so, she can focus on ones that have strong Catholic student groups.
She also needs to look closely at the COAs and see how much is estimated for travel. If she ends up going to school a few states away and the school only estimates $800 in travel, that will not likely be accurate.
And…she needs to retest.
