Can anyone help me with the names of Engineering college giving good scholarship?
Obviously, merit aids would depend on your GPA/score.
Purdue, UT Austin, UMN, WISC, UIUC, Colorado, Northwestern, Boston Univ, Georgia Tech, A&M, Olin, Cooper Union, Rice.
Again your admission chances depends on your stats.
USC
Purdue and UIUC give good merit scholarships?
I have heard students get full tuition or more from U Alabama, UA Huntsville, Wichita state.

I would not say that UT, UIUC, NU, GT give “good merit scholarships.”
@chesub what are your stats? are you a domestic student?
Absolutely not for UIUC. It sucks in any kind of aids. Northwestern gives mostly need based aid, not merit scholarships.
WISC requires separated application for merit scholarships.
Purdue is pretty good if your stat is good and they do have a thousand or so good scholarships school wide.
UMN-TC gives excellent scholarships if you are NMF.
UMich has limited very good scholarships too.
Most of the schools suggested require very high stats for substantial merit.
OP, I suggest you look into that list of automatic merit awards, and choose a school either from that list, or a school where your stats are very high relative to the accepted applicant pool. Undergraduate engineering is very much standardized under ABET – there is zero reason to not choose an affordable school. You will receive a high standard of education at any ABET accredited institution. So go to one where your stats are high.
Source: attending an engineering school where my stats were high. Best decision I ever made, even though my stats could’ve gotten me admitted into higher-ranking schools.
Hi there, Courtney Thurston, can you point me towards that list of automatic merit awards? My son and i are trying to add schools to his list where his stats are high relative to the accepted applicant pool… Currently all the schools he is looking at he falls within their mid 50%…
Thank you
UT Austin does NOT give “good scholarships.”
They have no guaranteed merit. There are a few highly highly selective scholarships given out by the different regional alumni groups. I would never count of any merit there even with perfect scores and perfect stats.
Texas A&M looks to have some competitive merit but not guaranteed and not widely distributed. Getting a small scholarship there will give you in-state tuition though so that is good.
Read the links in the first post. Check each college to see if the awards still exist.
Lafayette College in PA has good engineering programs along with more typical LAC majors and gives good merit for high stats students.
Students could get $25k in merit aid, and the school can still be too expensive. It is better to go to a school with $10k tuition and no merit aid than to a school with $40k in tuition and a 50% merit aid.
