<p>So I'm a junior in high school, from MS, and I want to apply to Florida State. Do they give full merit scholarships to students with a high gpa and ACT score even if you are not national merit semi or finalist?</p>
<p>full merit scholarships to students with a high gpa and ACT score</p>
<p>Are you asking about “full ride scholarships” from FSU? I don’t think FSU even gives them to NMFs. </p>
<p>UF and FSU seem to rely mostly on Bright Futures to provide merit scholarships to strong students (but you have to be instate). </p>
<p>Have you looked on FSU’s website for scholarships?</p>
<p>[FSU</a> Admissions | Freshman | Finances | Freshman Scholarships](<a href=“FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found”>FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found)</p>
<p>University Freshman Scholarship
A $9,600 scholarship distributed over four years. Recipients are selected from the best freshman students admitted to the University based upon high school grades and test scores.</p>
<p>(The above doesn’t say if you can be OOS to receive this scholarship, but if it’s distributed over 4 years, then it’s only about 2400 per year…not much. )</p>
<p>Tuition Reduction Scholarship (Waiver)
Awarded to a limited number of Non-Florida freshmen based on academic merit or special talent. **The total amount of this award is a 50% reduction (waiver) of the out-of-state portion of the tuition <a href=“approximately%20$7,222%20based%20on%2030%20semester%20hours%20for%20the%202011-2012%20academic%20year”>/B</a>. The waiver amount is only applied to tuition and does not include other fees, nor does it apply towards study-abroad programs. </p>
<p>It looks like some OOS kids are awarded a $7k scholarship which reduces the high OOS portion of the tuition a bit.</p>
<p>So, if you got one of those, instead of paying $21k for OOS tuition (plus room/board/books), you’d pay about $14k for tuition PLUS about $10k for room/board/books. $24k per year instead of about $31k per year.</p>
<p>In-state tuition and fees: $5,825
Out-of-state tuition and fees: $20,992
Room and board: $8,900<br>
Books and supplies: $1,000 </p>
<p>What are your stats? GPA? test scores?</p>
<p>I have a 3.9 gpa and the 2nd time I took the ACT, I made a 25. (aiming for 30 and up). I looked at the waiver tried to see if they had more than that on the page since some schools may not list it. I was hoping FSU (first choice) did especially if I got a 30 & -> .</p>
