Yes Clay, income is a factor in the admissions decision. The college was originally founded to serve the poorer population, but unlike Berea College in Kentucky, COFO leaves room to accept up to 10% of students (about 30) who do NOT have need. Berea College, which is also a “work for your education” school has no such allowance. At Berea, if the parents’ income is higher than $50,000 (family of four) a student will not be admitted.

Eric,

I definitely learned something with your 5 picks. I did know of Deep Springs, St. Johns (2) and College of the Ozarks. Regarding the latter, I think it is important to know that besides being a work college, they cater to need-based financial aid kids. It is very difficult to get in there if you come from a family with money. I got that directly from their “admissions dept.” a couple of years ago.
