<p>The MAXIMUM federal aid would be about $11,000 (full Pell grant and full Stafford loan). Sorry compared to the cost of attendance even instate at a public university, this would not be a “good amount” for someone with an EFC of $0 who needs significant financial aid.</p>
<p>The OP has received excellent advice. Cast a wide net…there are some terrific schools out there who would love to have you as a student…that do NOT have the “name recognition” of other schools. Look at those. That thread by Momfromtexas is a great one…she found near full scholarships for both of her kiddos. While the info is a bit old, the ideas are good.</p>
<p>Good luck to you…good that you are looking at your options now so you can formulate plan A, plan B and plan C!!</p>
