<p>Howard’s Founder’s Scholarship would be tuition, fees, and room (not board or books); remaining price for board, books, travel, and misc is probably about $9,000 per year (probably at the edge of what a student can come up with using Stafford loans and work earnings). It is not normally considered a “low quality school”. Students are probably less likely to be politically conservative, but more likely to be religious and less likely to binge drink, compared to college students overall.</p>
