Financial Aid Howard

Im really worried about getting financial aid from Howard because my parents make too much money based on most government standards and my mother told me not to expect much so I was wonder what were other peoples packages like from Howard and did it really help or did you have to find other resources. P.S Its real important cause theres another school in CT offering me money but I really want to go to Howard

*pushing topic up* Yea, I need some feedback also...

Well, I received a full scholarship from Howard (tuition, fees, room, board, and books), but that was because I was a National Achievement Scholar. But, Howard is very generous when it comes to academic scholarships.

So, are the academic scholarships only based on SAT scores? (not referring to band or athletic scholarships)
