2)room and board
3)misc. cost</p>

<p>Merit based scholarship covering FULL FEE</p>

<p>Bump , are there any??</p>

<p>Almost. I have seen merit-based scholarships for full tuition, room, board and books. (See [Villanova[/url</a>] or the [url=&lt;a href=“Office of Admissions | The University of New Orleans”&gt;Office of Admissions | The University of New Orleans]University</a> of New Orleans](<a href=“http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/admission/presidentialscholarships.html]Villanova[/url”>http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/admission/presidentialscholarships.html), for example.)</p>

<p>You could get an on-campus job to help with incidentals, but a job is not going to cover the cost of relocating to the US, health insurance and living expenses.</p>

<p>The University of South Carolina’s McNair Scholarship provides in-state tuition + $15K a year. If you also are a National Merit Finalist, you get an extra $6K a year. Together, you pay nothing. Plus, you get guaranteed admittance to the Honors College (average R+M SAT = 1427; average weighted GPA = 4.51).</p>

<p>

How can an International student be a National Merit Finalist?</p>
