First, the is no such thing as a "cheap" boarding school, but there are schools with financial aid. Most schools have decent pools to pull from. Second, and before I go any further, stop and think for a moment. Why do you want to go to boarding school? What do you want to achieve there? Are you just going so you can leave your current school/town/parents/etc? Are you looking for more oppurtunities or just a change of scene. If you're just looking for a change of scene, let me suggest summer camp instead. Boarding schools aren't your stereotypical image that you see on Zoey 101, or that you read about in A Seperate Peace. Most of the students at these schools are the most driven children you will ever meet, especially at the schools that give GOOD financial aid. These schools are out there for the students who feel limited where they are; the mucisian needing better facilities and more knowledgable teachers, the student who loves science, but his current school only offers a limited amount of classes, and most times for the student who is limitted in all aspects and just wants someone who yearns to love as much as they do. Currently I know of three schools that are 100% needs blind and offer free tuition for students who's families make under $75,000 per year. These are Andover, Exeter, and St. Pauls, but along with this, these are among the most prestigous schools in the world. They are the Ivy Leagues of prep schools. What I'd suggest doing, if you are serious about this, is to go to boarding school review, a webstie designed to help students find schools that match them, and look for schools you'd be interested in going to, then checking on their FA programs. Just as a forewarning, from the sound of your age, you're a sophomore. You'd be applying for Senior year, since acceptance/rejection letters have already been sent out for the year. Very few rising seniors are ever accepted to schools.
