<p>Archen, you are an independent student??</p>
<p>*I do have “safety’s” which I have basically a Full-Ride guaranteed, I have University of Florida and University of Miami. I have Bright Futures basically in my back pocket all I need is a 28 ACT or higher and I can get that with my eyes closed. </p>

<p>???</p>
<p>Bright Futures is not a full ride to UF (it only pays for most of tuition…not all of tuition…and not room, board, and books)…and it only pays a very small part of UMiami (since UM is private).</p>
<p>The full Shipman scholarship currently is a fixed $15,000 per year + Room & Board, renewable for 4 years.</p>
<p>So, technically it is not a full-ride, but amounts to such for instate students. Daughter is a current Shipman.</p>
<p>Just stumbled upon this thread and right now I am thankful to be a Michigan resident (life-long, born and bred, no tricks up my sleeve!).</p>
