And people frequently throw around the term “full ride” when that is not the correct term. The poster in post #66 said the girl got a FREE SCHOLARSHIP (room and board). That is NOT a free ride, dadII and is not all that uncommon. In my state, any student who can maintain a 3.0 GPA gets a FREE TUITION scholarship. That is not all that rare.

<p>Ok I am now utterly confused. </p>

<p>Free ride = not paying tuition, room, or board or anything. The poster said FULL scholarship which generally means free ride. </p>

<p>You are talking about full TUITION. NOT full room, board, etc. There is a huge difference. </p>

<p>Free tuition is common in some places. Full NEED-based scholarships are not. </p>

<p>You make little to no sense.</p>
