<p>I would take this to the FA board and there is a current thread on the topic.</p>

<p>The bottom line is that a zero EFC presents most with few college choices. URM and athlete, if they are recruitable, dramatically changes the situation. </p>

<p>The TOS doesn’t allow me to name it, but there is a blog with excellent information for minority candidates that you will easily find using Google. Questbridge, as mentioned, would also be perfect in this case.</p>

<p>Many private, high endowment colleges are actively seeking first gen, low income minorities. With decent grades and scores, these kids will have a lot of opportunities. Some loans may be involved, but if you stick to the many schools with loan caps, they should not be deal breakers.</p>
