<p>You need to run a preliminary FAFSA and see what your EFC will probably be. If it starts at over $20K, you are unlikely to make your budget. Also run the NPC for those schools and it will at least give you a ballpark figure of what you are likely to get in Financial Aid. The schools that you have mentioned don’t seem to be ones with great endowments - as those are the ones that are most likely to be able to provide generous grants. Otherwise your only other hope is if you are so wonderful that they will provide you with merit aid.</p>
