<p>How can I get a full ride to Arizona State University?</p>
<p>^What year in HS are you? If you are a current sr, you need to currently have NHRP status to qualify for a scholarship; if you are a jr, see below.</p>
<p>Read post #145 of this thread and see the links to the ASU scholarhip; be aware that the scholarship is for full tuition, not a full ride which generally designates full tuition, R&B.</p>
<p>If you need to know how NHRP works, go to the Resources sticky thread and read the first post on the NHRP thread. It gives a link to the NHRP website that explains how to qualify. Regional cutoffs vary a little each year, if you contact NHRP they will tell you the 2012 cutoff for your Region.</p>
<p>p.s. If you are using your real name as your member name, I strongly suggest that you use the Report Problem Post button on your post immediately and request a name change to something that doesn’t give personal information.</p>
<p>Please note that this is only done on rare occasions and only when the member is new. Please carefully review CCs Terms of Service about posting sensitive information.</p>
<p>OivOiv,
did you get an answer to your question? Curious too – Is the Fordham tuition offer automatic upon acceptance?</p>
<p>^Give them a call and ask.</p>
<p>Just to let everyone knows, UCF offers 48000 per four years, 6000 per semester to National Hispanic finalist. The scholarship covers 90% of the school expenses, tuition and room and boarding. Quite nice!</p>
<p>We visited the University of Arizona this past Friday and Saturday. The Honor’s College hosted a special event. Our son was able to stay overnight in the honor’s dorm. They also had many discussion panels for both students and their parents. I must tell all of you that they have a wonderful program. Since our son is an out of state student, he would receive a $30,000 per year scholarship for being a National Hispanic Scholar. This is an automatic scholarship. All of you NH Scholars and parents should take a good look at the University of Arizona. They have a great program which truly takes care of our high achieving students :)</p>
<p>LasVegasMom, Arizona State offers a full tuition scholarship plus other perks for National Scholars (NMF, NHS, NAS) too - plus acceptance and living in Barrett Honors College - so you might want to check them out. Right now, it looks like this is where my D will probably end up unless some major scholarship elsewhere comes along within the next few months.</p>
<p>luiseenriquezperez, it is a full TUITION scholarship to ASU if you’re a National Hispanic Scholar (provided you’re accepted of course) - so you (your parents!) will have to still pay room, board, books, etc.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the Lieber Scholars Award for out of state students at the University of South Carolina is automatic if you’re a National Hispanic Recognized scholar?</p>
<p>Does anyone have an updated list of schools and scholarships for NHS receipients?</p>
<p>If no one posts an updated list, I would suggest that you pick the schools that you’re interested in from those listed earlier in this thread and check their websites to see the current status of their NHRP scholarships. Since the economic downturn, schools have tended to reduced or eliminated their NHRP merit aid, rather than new schools adding programs.</p>
<p>I do not have a comprehensive list to post yet, however these schools offer NHRP scholarships:</p>
<p>Boston University (apply, not all receive)
Northeastern University
Ohio State University</p>
<p>Vanderbilt NO longer offers Merit scholarships for NHRP (verified via email)</p>
<p>I just checked the Ohio State website and could not find anything on the NHRP. Could you please tell me where you found this? Thanks!</p>
<p>I talked with admissions at Oklahoma state university and they stated that legislation for the state of Oklahoma had put a hold on gender or raced based scholarships for now.</p>
<p>Wow that list of links is an extremely comprehensive and valuable post, thank you Lapagan. Can you please advise how you searched for that data? I would like to do a search across colleges in my area but going site to site to hunt for it seems very time consuming, hoping there is a short cut. Thanks again.</p>
<p>Hi! I haven’t done a search for this year but I think that most of the scholarships are still valid.</p>
<p>If you want to do your regional search just do a Google search under National Hispanic Scholar, or minority scholarship, Hispanic scholarship, Hispanic scholarship, and other combinations. I strongly suggest that you go past the first 3 pages as that where I found little known schools with scholarships. Good luck!</p>
<p>I just got this info. Some of you might be interested.</p>

<p>^Thanks! I’m going to give a link to your post on the 2018 Diversity Fly-in thread.</p>
<p>I received this info in an email but Nebraska on their online scholarship estimator had a box you check if you are a National Hispanic Scholar. Here is the link to determine a merit award.[Out-of-State</a> Scholarship Estimator | Undergraduate Office of Admissions | University of Nebraska?Lincoln](<a href=“http://admissions.unl.edu/cost-and-aid/estimate.aspx]Out-of-State”>http://admissions.unl.edu/cost-and-aid/estimate.aspx) It looks like a student will receive a scholarship over $21K a year which leaves a cost of $9K a year. Not a bad offer from a public school. </p>
<p>I haven’t had a chance to update my research from a few years ago but I will once my schedule clears.</p>
<p>I’ve been researching schools that offer scholarships to NHRP scholars on here and Google. Unfortunately I have yet to find one that interests my son. He wants to go to a large school that is within about a 3 hours of Maryland by car. Is anyone aware of a school that would meet that criteria? Thanks in advance!</p>
