Help me find affordable colleges.

Considering your stats run the NPC on Michigan - they meet need for family income up to 90k.
Same for Vanderbilt and u Chicago so we they dont need NCP info.
RAIKES will allow you to take classes in finance. That program is fantastic btw.

@MYOS1634, it seems UMichigan requires the CSS NCP upon reading through their website. Vanderbilt initially doesn’t require, but it says it may ask in the process if they need to, then what? I’d have to withdraw my app then.

Like many competitive full rides, Eminence requires an interview. In past years it was in person, but now it is skype interviews instead. I’m not sure if the immersion weekend is mandatory or if there is need based funding for travel. These are two questions you should ask the program manager (see contact at link below). Usually 75 finalists and 25 offers, though some past Eminence classes were bigger. https://honors-scholars.osu.edu/honors/eminence/apply

I did notice under Morrill criteria “Applicants should be academically exceptional high school seniors” so you might want to check with that program’s manager that it is not limited to US high school seniors for eligibility. The full cost of attendance award level (distinction) also requires an interview, so you might ask if it can be conducted via skype if selected to interview. There are full tuition award levels as well with that program if you aren’t selected for the distinction interview. https://odi.osu.edu/msp/future-students/application-process.html

The most awarded scholarship for out of state freshman is the National Buckeye which can be stacked with the Maximus. Those combined awards this year total $16,500 each year renewable for up to four years. The net price calculator for the school usually will show those kinds of university level awards along with pell and likely work study award. It does not show additional ‘special scholarships’ awarded through colleges and departments, though those tend to be small and not renewable (you apply every year for these). Beyond work study there are plenty of on campus jobs.

Make sure you have a good automatic full ride like Alabama in your pocket before reaching out for these long shot competitive full rides. OSU hates losing to Alabama.
