[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Smith College has a really interesting program -- the Ada Comstock Scholars Program. I don't know if she fully fits the profile, but it is really a life-changing program for the right women. It might be worth considering.[/quote]

I believe this program is for non-traditional aged students (over 25 when applying).  But, I agree that women's colleges can be a good option, many offer generous aid.  Mount Holyoke might be one to check out.

Beloit College is a school in the midwest with a reputation for being generous with aid.  There was also a piece recently in the New York Times that graphed schools that enroll a high number of Pell recipients and give generous aid.  I work for a college access non-profit, and there isn't an easy to use roundup of schools that offer the most generous aid to low-income students.  If she were competitive at the very top tier schools, it would be pretty easy for her to get a great financial aid offer, but for students applying to strong but non-elite schools it's a lot more complicated.  I believe College Possible is a big college access org located in the midwest, you might check out their website.

It does sound like you are doing the right things, good luck![/quote]
