<p>I think your family earns too much for you to get work study. </p>
<p>If any of these schools ask for info. from a noncustodial parent and your dad is still alive, you may have to provide his financial info. </p>
<p>Don’t count on a college giving you money from their limited PTK funds because you want it and you’re persuasive. If you don’t meet the qualifications, why should they give it to you?</p>
<p>Make sure to include a financial safety (one you know you can afford and are willing to attend if you get accepted) and if you’re going on to grad school, etc., take on as little undergrad debt as you can.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
