Full-Ride Scholarships (based on merit) for Undergraduates

<p>Since many of the deadlines for full ride scholarships for high school seniors have passed for the 2010-2011 school year, does anyone know of any full-ride scholarships open to undergraduates or undergraduate freshmen specifically? It would be nice to have at least 3/4 of my undergraduate education paid, if not the first year. Knowing if there are any programs out there would be helpful. Please post if you know of any :)</p>

<p>Are you asking for scholarship money from outside sources to be used at your chosen college? </p>

<p>If so, I doubt there are any. And, I think most/all of the “full ride” deadlines you are talking about are from colleges for their own students.</p>

<p>Both outside and institutional merit scholarships are much more limited for continuing students. And as far as a full ride or even full tuition, rare as hens teeth. Check your college for departmental scholarships for continuing students.</p>

<p>There are 3-year ROTC scholarships that would cover most or all of tuition and fees at many colleges and universities.</p>

<p>Well, I suppose I am asking if there are any other similar programs like the SMART program. I’ve heard that if selected for SMART, they cover the rest of the recipient’s tuition.</p>
