<p>Your stats make you eligible for many merit scholarships. You’re smart to start looking now as a junior. Many seniors are just looking now, and many scholarship deadlines were in November or December (so, next fall, be aware!!! 
)</p>
<p>College-ruled is right about the Bama scholarship. Those are “assured” scholarships - as long as you have the stats and apply on time, you get the $$. I have 2 boys there on scholarships, and they love it.</p>
<p>However, there are other merit scholarships at other schools. Some are “assured” (based on stats), and some are competitive (these are usually limited in number and may require on-campus interviews).</p>
<p>Also, be aware that some publics, do not give big merit scholarships to OOS students. I just checked Mizzou’s website, and they only have competitive scholarships for OOS students, not assured ones. </p>
<p>I suggest that you apply to some schools with assured scholarships, some schools with competitive scholarships, and some schools that meet 100% of financial need without loans. </p>
<p>BTW…what was your PSAT score? Will you likely be a NMSF? If so, that is another opportunity for scholarships. :)</p>
