What colleges give a significant amount of financial aid?
I am a senior trying to apply to colleges that give a pretty good amount of financial aid. I know I have no chance to get into a school that meets 100% of financial need (ex: Harvard) so I was wondering if anyone had a list of schools that provide 80% of demonstrated need and up. Financial aid is very important to me so I would really appreciate it.
I don't have any specific preferences, just as long as it's in the US

I used a chat to help me with this list:
"Agnes Scott College: Meets 88% of need for freshmen and 87% for undergraduates1.
Albion College: Meets 94% of need for freshmen and 91% for undergraduates1.
Alfred University: Meets 89% of need for freshmen and 82% for undergraduates1.
Allegheny College: Meets 89% of need for freshmen and 87% for undergraduates1.
American University: Meets 92% of need for freshmen and 75% for undergraduates1.
Assumption College: Meets 80% of need for freshmen and 79% for undergraduates1.
Please note that the percentages listed represent the average amount of need that was met for students who were awarded need-based aid."
Also, some colleges offer huge or even full merit scholarships. I am planning on applying to Delaware Valley University; though it's average scores/GPA are much lower than my own, this is to my advantage. I could receive a full ride scholarship.
Hope this helps!
