<p>Based in Florida, thinking about engineering and you are interested in merit? Think about USF and UCF. Both have solid engineering programs and award merit aid (you do want to improve your SAT score to increase your chances and the increase the amount awarded). </p>

<p>Putting aside UF and FSU (which wouldn’t offer any merit), the other state schools (UNF, FAU, etc.) would offer even more merit, but have more limited (in number of majors) engineering programs. For example, FAU has a Civil engineering program, but no Industrial engineering. </p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
