Full Ride Scholarships

Paying for College
1

<p>I was reading recently in some magazine, I don't remember exactly which, that they're are many good but less known colleges across the united states that are offering full rides or at least partial scholarships to students with higher scores, I have pretty strong scores, at least compared to the general population, not the kids on this site. so i was wondering how to go about finding schools like this? thanks :)</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>GPA?</p>

<p>ACT?</p>

<p>SAT (including breakdown)</p>

<p>BTW…“full-rides” is tuition, room, board, books, etc. </p>

<p>“Full tuition” is something different.</p>

3

<p>SAT: 630 reading 650 math 690 math 1970
ACT: 30
GPA: 4.3</p>

<p>I was not aware of the difference between those, thanks!</p>

<p>There are some schools that will give you good merit with your stats. </p>

<p>Is the last score your Writing?</p>

<p>Now that you’ve posted your stats, people will post opportunities for you.</p>

<p>What will your major be?</p>

<p>Thanks :slight_smile: yes it is</p>

<p>I’m planning to major in business and maybe use my ap credits to double major/minor in psychology</p>

6

<p>What state are you in? And what is your class rank?</p>

7

<p>I’m in CA and my school doesn’t rank</p>

8

<p>What type of college would you like? University, LAC? Small, Large? Preference on the area of the country? There’s a lot of colleges out there that would give you nice scholarship money based on those stats, but too many to list.</p>

<p>public or LAC doesnt matter to me same with size, i’d perfer an urban area somewhere along the coast, dont think i’d really like the midwest</p>

<p>U of San Francisco would likely give you a lot of merit, but is their deadline to apply today? </p>

<p>Many scholarship deadlines are today. There are some that are later this month and into next year, but many are today.</p>
