I don’t know if anyone who got a full ride at Rutgers for academics recently, although I know they gave them in the past. My dd’s Friend was valedictorian of her class and received some money, and my ds’s friend was salutatorian and received some money. Dd is 8th in her class of 300+, 4.2 GPA, ACT 34, varsity athlete/captain, AP scholar, tons of UC and volunteering, seton hall admissions employee emailed her to compliment her on her essay, Rutgers offered her $5000. Back in my day that would’ve been a full ride.
