Hi! Going to preface this by saying I don’t know much specifically, but I did some googling to find you some schools!
I think it’s also important to note what you what you want to study, what school environment you like, if you’re in state/out of state, how much you can pay, and how much FA schools are willing to give, among other factors, but here’s a list of a couple schools.
You should also look into scholarships! There are tons you can apply for that help.
the UCs
Tufts
UFlorida
Vassar
SUNYs
Amherst
Colby
Bowdoin
Davidson
Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
Rice
Texas A&M
UChicago
Vanderbilt
I believe all the Ivies and MIT also have good Financial Aid
Here’s a link (if it lets me attach) of schools I found: https://blog.prepscholar.com/colleges-with-the-best-financial-aid
Best of luck!
You should look into the 'no loan schools'. About 10 schools (maybe more now) have endowments to fill the gap between FAFSA, work-study, etc. The key is good grades and financial need which you appear to have. Two I can think of off the bat are Davidson and Dickinson, both of which are good liberal arts schools. You can google no loan colleges and get the entire list. Good luck!
Addendum: I just saw on the news that Williams just went no loan. They are an excellent school. Just wanted to point that out. Good luck on your college search!
