Paying for SCAD

This post is a bit personal, but i’m from a low income family at the moment. because of some home issues, my parents make way below the average household.

i’m really hoping to go to SCAD, but i’m lucky to have a backup plan because i don’t think it will work out. i can only take 30k out in loans maximum, the most i can get from Pell is 7k, Hope scholarship will not pay for much, and i don’t qualify for enough independent scholarships.

i’m curious of how people pay for more than 1 year at SCAD, including housing and all (since most are out of state or live too far to drive daily). if there is any tips or tricks into paying for it, anything that makes life easier lol, please!!!!
