Full Tuition/Full Ride Scholarships for Ohio Schools?

Paying for College National Merit Aid
1

<p>My dd is a junior and we are lining up her college visits. There is a good chance she will be a national merit semi-finalist. I have read about some great scholarships to schools in Alabama and Texas, but do any Ohio schools give great scholarships for NMSF?</p>

<p>If she becomes a finalist (most do), the University of Cincinnati gives full tuition/room and board. Students also compete in the Cincinnatus program, which can also give a book allowance and stipend. I’m sure there are others…</p>

<p>Bowling Green State University and Wright State University have full ride for NM scholars I think.</p>

<p>Denison’s Paschal Carter Scholarship is for NMF. Awards $35,000 annually plus one-time $3,000 grant for computer, study abroad, or research. You must apply for it (additional essay). I believe there are 35 available.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure that Ohio University in Athens gives full tuition with a 32 ACT. I don’t know their NMF policy.</p>

<p>NMS are very likely to get the full ride scholarship at Youngstown.

<p>Also - did you know that Ohio Wesleyan in Delaware and Mount Union in Alliance are very generous with merit aid? I would think full tuition+ would be likely if the student’s SAT score and grades are good.</p>

<p>We visited Mount Union last summer and we were impressed. The professors are caring, the campus is beautiful and with their DIII Football powerhouse, they have all of the tailgating/football party fun that you would have at a Big 10 school. Alliance is a small city so it’s not like you are out in the middle of nowhere, and location-wise, it is convenient - you are fairly close to the Akron Canton airport.</p>

<p>Midwestmom2kids, we will have to look at Mount Union. Our neighbor’s daughter went there and she loved it. I appreciate the ideas posted here. We have 5 kids, 4 will be in college at the same time, and are hoping to take advantage of DD’s national merit status to help pay for the majority of education if possible.</p>
