<p>I know there is a thread for the best financial aid schools, but I wanted to create one to restrict it to engineering schools. So, what schools that are known for their engineering programs give the best financial aid?</p>
<p>Princeton - need based only, no merit based scholarships.</p>
<p>yea i heard princeton gives a lot of grants, but its not exactly known for engineering...</p>
<p>i meant schools like WPI, Cornell, FU, UMich etc...
also the easier the get into the better ;)</p>
<p>Best Deal is your state school. Different state schools will specialize in certain engineering areas.</p>
<p>RPI is a good engineering school and is known for good merit aid, especially if you are a girl.
While at RPI we were also told Case has good merit aid. Don't know specifically about their engineering.</p>
<p>State school is not always the best deal.
Re: RPI You might look into the medal program-- <a href="http://admissions.rpi.edu/update.do?artcenterkey=1%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.rpi.edu/update.do?artcenterkey=1</a></p>
<p>Got into USC Engineering (Viterbi) with a Presidential Scholarship, which is 1/2 of tuition paid for 4 years. This turns out to be a better deal than our state school. Don't write off the privates - they have more money to give away.</p>
<p>Colorado School of Mines gives out good scholarships to students who keep a steady GPA at the school. Excellent engineering school as well.</p>
<p>Cooper Union pays your full tuition, if you are admitted.</p>
<p>Olin College of Engineering. Great school with also full tuition. If you can get past the fact that it's new and small, it is the best bang for the buck.</p>
<p>UMich if you're a Michigan resident.</p>
<p>NC State University has the Park Scholarship program which offers full ride scholarships (tuition, fees, room, board, a computer stipend +summer research opportunities) to 35 NC residents and 15 OOS students each year.</p>
