Acc to info @Tanbiko gave, 91 kids got Full rides, but he gives 2009 as year. I don’t know if that’s a typo and he meant 2019. Perhaps he can elaborate.
Things have changed a lot just in 4 years. My son got two full rides automatically due to his gpa and test scores. Those schools now require an assessment process to get those awards, not automatic anymore.
Back in the day when my oldest was looking at colleges, getting into Pitt honors college and a generous Chancellors award was pretty much automatic. Now those numbers are not even good enough to get you considered for those awards.
There used to be a list of automatic full ride scholarships here. Things have changed so much that there aren’t many schools left in such a list.
On the other hand, some schools are giving out more generous merit money. My kids were doing really well to get $5k awards. I’m seeing the same schools giving out $20k in merit money now. Of course their sticker price has gone up about that too.
Rutgers does say it gives out awards up to close to what instate tuition, room and board are. How many, no clue. What % of what dollar amounts go to OOS applicants, no idea. I’ve not seen Rutgers on any list of state schools with good merit money for OOS kids, like South Carolina, Alabama are. It’s also not as popular of an OOS venue as Michigan , Pitt, and a number of other flagship schools. It’s very expensive for OOS kids , >$50k a year, and isn’t up there in stature like UM, UVA, UNC. But it has a lot more name recognition than UBuffalo and gives out more merit money.
