<p>3+2 programs bring financial aid uncertainty with respect to the 2 school. I.e. you may not be able to transfer if the 2 school give insufficient financial aid, which you may not know until later.</p>
<p>Places to look for safeties: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1348012-automatic-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1348012-automatic-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships.html</a></p>
<p>At ACT 31, looks like just Prairie View A&M for a full ride with engineering. ACT 32 adds Louisiana Tech and Howard. ACT 34 adds University of Alabama - Huntsville. Concordant SAT scores should also qualify.</p>
<p>The list also includes a bunch of automatic full tuition scholarships (e.g. University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa engineering), but with the family income you stated, paying the rest of the $10,000 to $15,000 per year would be a stretch.</p>
