<p>If I could get some financial aid from a school that would help my family a lot. We’re probably willing to spend $25,000 a year</p>
<p>Have your parents use the Net Price Calculators on SEVERAL different schools sites to find out if you QUALIFY for aid. Wanting aid isn’t enough. Your schools may look at your family’s income and decide that your family should pay $40k per year…or maybe $50k per year. Schools that give a lot of aid do NOT give a lot of aid to those that don’t qualify for lots of aid. </p>
<p>Since you’re a likely NMSF/F, be sure to apply to a couple of schools that give large merit for that…those can be your financial safeties.</p>
