<p>Every year Rutgers gives out almost full ride scholarships, but you need a 2250 or 35 ACT. You wouldn’t need to contribute much…here is the link.</p>
<p>Can you clarify…it doesn’t look like that covers as much for an OOS student.</p>
<p>Awards are for $24,000 per year (about half of that is for housing). So, that wouldn’t cover OOS tuition or other costs. OOS tuition is $25k, and it seems that the scholarship only covers $12,500 towards tuition. If there’s another source for OOS students, it may be listed somewhere else??</p>
<p>It also looks like the awards are competitive.</p>
<p>@mom2collegekids you’re right, I must have been looking at the wrong chart for tuition.</p>
<p>OP, check out the Johnson scholarship from Washington and Lee. It’s extremely prestigious, so it might be one to think about for a reach school.

<p>@mom2collegekids, you’re right. I must have been looking at the wrong chart.</p>
<p>OP, also check out the Levine Scholarship at UNC-Charlotte. It covers full tuition, room and board, summers, and a service grant. It is definitely worth a look.

<p>I have some more questions:
Why does Collegeboard allow a student to send SAT scores to colleges if the student hasn’t even applied to colleges?
I’m a junior, but should I have started applying to colleges already?
Is there any benefit in a college knowing your SAT score results even if you haven’t applied there yet?</p>
<p>No, you shouldn’t be applying to colleges yet.</p>
<p>CollegeBoard allows you to send a certain number of exam scores as part of the cost of registering for the exam. Part of this is to let you feel like you are really getting value for your money. If you have some places to send this set of scores to, it is OK to send them now. That way if you don’t take the SAT again, the college/university will have access to those scores when you do apply. If you don’t have any notion of where you’d like to send your scores this time “for free”, you don’t have to do it.</p>
<p>University of Miami has outstanding merit aid for students with good stats. Singer and Stamps are their two major scholarships, Singer being full tuition for four years and Stamps being full cost of attendance (tuition, room/board, books, literally everything)… definitely apply there as you’ll likely be in the running for good aid plus an invitation to the Singer/Stamps competition weekends (which consists of an interview with a faculty member).</p>
<p>Do the colleges that you all have mentioned care if the student applying has not taken any AP courses? My school does not any. However, I am taking CP courses. Do colleges take into consideration the availability of AP courses to students applying? I may have a 4.0 GPA, but does it really look good if I have not taken any AP courses?</p>
<p>I would like to second or third what others have said/asked. Have you taken the ACT? A score of 34 would guarantee you the full meal deal at UAB. That is quite an honor. Working in the summer would pay for travel to and from school. </p>
<p>The Trustee scholarship is a unique award offered by Hampton University. It provides a four -year scholarship to include: Tuition, Room, Board, and a $500 book stipend. The recipient must have a minimum SAT score of 1400 (combined Math and Critical Reading score only) or minimum ACT composite score of 32.
Presidential</p>
<p>The Presidential scholarship is awarded to students with a SAT score of 1300 1390 (combined Math and Critical Reading score only) or an ACT composite score ranging from 29- 31. This four- year scholarship covers the cost of Tuition, Room, and Board.</p>
<p>Probably Louisiana Tech and Newberry College are 2 worth considering.</p>
<p>If your stats qualify you for the automatic full rides at these schools, then you would also have a shot at competitive full rides at some of their peer institutions.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your responses! I’ve looked into most of these scholarships and colleges listed, and am working toward getting the UAHuntsville scholarship.</p>
<p>If anyone has anymore advice, scholarships, or colleges to name, please do!</p>
