<p>Thanks for the responses. Mom2collegekids, I will (as willmingtonwave guessed) be applying to a large number of scholarships, and will hopefully earn one or two large, annual scholarships.</p>
<p>Aside from American and UGA, I would like to have some other options (I’m not even completely set on these two yet). Per the article’s criteria:
Geography: East Coast (doesn’t matter where, preferably not too far north though)
Opportunity: Right now, I have a pretty broad interest range. I’m interested in majoring in English, politics, or environmental sciences. I assume that all colleges have decent English programs, but what about the other two?
Cost: My parents are probably willing/able to spend around $10-15,000 a year on my college, and i’d hopefully be able to get $10,000 a year (from scholarships and my work savings). Assuming the tuition/room and board costs around $50,000, what well-regarded colleges offer merit scholarships worth up to $25,000? (but it doesn’t necessarily have to be this large- i can always work while at college)</p>
<p>As far as other criteria go, I wouldn’t want anything too large (I know UGA is enormous, but I’d apply to the honors program). Can anyone recommend a safety that could match this list? Thanks!</p>
