I read somewhere that Georgia Southern is trying to steal kids that are capable of UGA/GA Tech by giving them a free ride. Their requirement is 1200 SAT (I'm 1280/1600), except their deadline has passed, and I've heard that GA Southern has STD's and too much alcohol and stuff.</p>

<p>So..
As of now, my school I'm set on is Georgia State. I'm sure I qualify for HOPE, which would cover tuition (~$5K), but there's still housing (~$3K per semester). And GA State isn't exactly a dream school..</p>

<p>3.8 GPA
71/629
1280/1600 or 1850/2400
Yearbook staff
Latin Club member</p>

<p>Anyone else know schools with not so hard scholarships that I'd qualify for? Don't mind if it's out of state, only trouble is, I would think that the state would want their own residents, not some merely above average kid..</p>

<p>Come on, anyone? Looking for ~1100/1600 colleges like Auburn..</p>

<p>There are several threads in the Financial Aid forums that discuss schools that give a lot of merit aid.</p>

<p>It's hard to get motivated, when you want someone else to do the research for you to get a "free ride" using "not so hard" scholarships to schools with no STD's. And little alcohol.</p>

<p>But I give a nod to Cowbell for the SNL reference. :)</p>

<p>sblake7, thanks! </p>

<p>And I, too, was trying to direct the OP to do a little research on his/her own instead of just asking for a list.</p>
