<p>Ohio U. would offer you some merit aid (youd need a 32 on ACT to receive a full tuition ride unfortunately, but you meet the GPA criteria). There are full tuition scholarships you can apply to for the next years there if you do very well! Read through all their scholarships and see what you can apply for as a first year (they have an art scholarship worth 5K, and there are several others, so read through every scholarship!). Pm me if you want to see the campus. I just visited the campus last week and was extremely impressed --I can send you my flicker link. </p>

<p>You get 2K knocked off the instate tuition for your stats at Ohio U, which would bring it to $18,500 per year. If you can earn another one of the scholarships through a dept. (like the art, or journalism, etc.) then you may be able to get an additional 5K “stacked” award.</p>
<p>Do not rule out this school bc of the “middle of no where” rep --its absolutely beautiful and also doesnt feel as large as it is —apply by due date of Feb. 1 and visit if you can! my nephew is a junior there and he absolutely loves it.</p>
