<p>Unless you are getting merit $ directly from the school, the only aid that you will be eligible for is federal aid (Pell grants if you are pell eligible and stafford loans). Everything else you will have to pay for on your own. Even if you are extremely low income the most you will get is $5625 in pell (if you are eligible) and a stafford loan of $5500. </p>
<p>How much are your parents willing to pay?</p>
<p>I see that you want to attend a HBCU; unless you are at the top of the applicant pool for some serious merit money, you will get very little if anything in terms of need based aid because they just don’t have the endowment to make it happen.</p>
