Thank you both for the help re: WVU!
My son would probably qualify for the Distinction award at Arizona. Anyone know of additional College of Engineering scholarships are commonly awarded at Arizona for similar students?
Your son would automatically qualify the Amigo Scholarship (automatic). He’d get in-state tuition rate. UNM’s COA is under $20K.
He meets the basic qualification for the Regents’ Scholarship which is a true full ride (tuition, fees, honors housing , meals, computer allowance).The Regents is competitive and has a separate application due by Dec 1.

UNM COE is fully ABET accredited and offers electrical, computer, mechanical, civil, chemical, biomedical, nuclear, optical and nanoscience engineering programs.

UNM is an urban campus in city of ~750K residents, Div 1 sports. Mountains w/skiing adjacent to the city, but ABQ itself has really pleasant weather most of the year.
University of Alabama. Big merit
UAH is a smaller, regional school well known for engineering. Their OOS merit is now shrinking, since they have attracted the high stats OOS students and are now at max capacity for housing.
Univ Alabama Huntsville is set in a huge Research Park, in a small but booming city. Marshall space flight center, Redstone arsenal, a new FBI headquarters, so many employers eager to hire UAH students. Vibrant music, arts, entertainment and dining scene.
