<p>Are there any full ride scholarships for private colleges? Most of the ones I find are state schools.</p>
<p>Sure…WashU in St. Louis, Babson College, USC, to name a couple.</p>
<p>Rhodes College, Southwestern University to name a couple of others.</p>
<p>If your family has an income of $60,000 or less, Harvard will give you a full ride. Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia, gives every student a full tuition scholarship.</p>
<p>Tulane has the DHS.</p>
<p>Or the LA Legislative scholarship…full tuition. I got it…it isn’t really competitive since so few Louisianians apply to Tulane and if you are in a small district it is realllllly easy.</p>
<p>Duke, Richmond and Emory all have full ride merit scholarships, but they are highly competitive</p>
<p>Most colleges with recognizable names that have full ride merit awards are so competitive that getting one is as difficult or more so than getting into HPY. I think this is true statistically. </p>
<p>However, there is an excellent thread on full ride scholarships that Momfromtexas put together that gives you a good start in finding less competitive options. Those schools are far less known. </p>
<p>My son got one full ride plus from a school that is not so well known, but does an outstanding job in preparing kids for high pay jobs that are begging to be filled. But you do sacrifice the traditional college campus atmosphere going that route in many cases, and it wasn’t what he wanted to do.</p>
