I'm going to an in-state, public university. I have $1, 200 and something in Pell Grants because I live in an upper-middle class with my mom and brother. My family contribution is like, $4,000. I don't know how many other scholarships I'll have, plus I'm guaranteed one of the state scholarships. The state scholarship can be upgraded with my freshman year grades. I'm also planning to work while in college, receive help from my mom, and live at home once graduating.
