My son who has been accepted and would like to attend Auburn University who has a 3.8 GPA but his test scores fall short of those needed for Freshman Scholarships. He is and NY resident and we have an EFC of 4868 I am wondering how generous their need based scholarship packages are and what others with similar situations have received. I am also open to suggestions on best loan options.
I should note that he is a semi pro fisherman and has chosen Auburn because of their competitive fishing team. It is not considered an NCAA sport because there is award money involved, therefore there are no scholarships available. To pursue this he needs to go to a Southern School as there is no such thing as Competitive Collegiate Bass Fishing in the North where we live.
Run their Net Price Calculator. You’ll see that the school gives little aid and it won’t be affordable.
