<p>As a financial safety, Alabama would give you the below-listed ASSURED scholarships for your stats if you apply before Dec 1st and fill out the scholarship app. </p>
<p>These are not competitive scholarships like others mentioned above…since you have the stats, you get the scholarships. ASSURED.</p>
<p>And…Bama has a brand new mega-sized Science and Engineering Complex…so state of the art facilities, classrooms, labs, etc.</p>
<p>This video link is of the College of Arts and Sciences, but gives you a view of the school. The Shelby building that is shown here was Phase I of the new Science and Engineering Complex. 3 phases are complete (well, the 3rd phase will complete in about 4 weeks)…and the 4th phase will soon break ground.<br>

<p>Bama now has over 1.25 million square feet of engineering and science facilities. </p>
<p>BTW…there are many Illinois students at Bama. Bama has kids from all 50 states and has about 40% OOS students.</p>
<p>The following scholarships are for OOS residents…</p>
<p>Free tuition…Presidential Scholarship</p>
<p>Students who have a 32-36 ACT or 1400-1600 SAT (critical reading and mathematics scores only) and at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA will receive out-of-state tuition for four years.</p>
<p>(About 500 frosh each year enroll with that Presidential Scholarship of free tuition).</p>
<p>**
Engineering Scholarship (also for Comp Sci majors)**…and additional 2500 per year stacked on top of the free tuition.</p>
<p>Students who have a 32-36 ACT or 1400-1600 SAT (math and verbal scores only) and at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA will receive $2,500 per year for four years.</p>
<p>Your remaining costs would be about $10k per year…or less, depending on your dorm/meal plan choice.</p>
<p>You would also be an excellent candidate for Bama’s elite Computer-Based Honors Program…only 40 students admitted each year. This is a research-based honors program. Sometimes more scholarship money is awarded to CBH students. </p>
<p>BTW…since your family is self-employed, CSS Profile schools may not be as generous as some might think. CSS schools are famous for adding back business deductions which makes income seem higher. And, does your family have assets/savings? </p>
<p>Anyway…the Bama scholarships are a great financial safety since you would get the awards within a few weeks of applying. The app is quick and easy and online now.<br>

<p>BTW…are you a likely NMSF/F? What was your PSAT?</p>
