<p>What we need is some sort of data bank for contacts-- people who choose to be contacts, for particular circumstances. There are some people who can help with merit only awards, some that are more familiar with outside scholarships (merit based), some that know more about what state unis will offer. </p>
<p>I would love to help anyone with a moderate 20-25K EFC/BWRKs with anything I can pass along, and now that I have two in that particular circumstance as well. There is a lot of merit/financial aid out there, too. Obviously for those with very high EFCs it is a different ball game.</p>
