<p>Recently, the more I learn about Rice the more I love the school. However, the merit scholarships make it stand out even more. But how difficult is it to get a decent sized scholarship based solely on merit? For example, what is the range of SAT scores, or GPA? OR, what differentiates a half tuition from a full tuition? Is it realistic to hope for a full tuition at all?</p>

<p>I am thinking of going into engineering BTW, and I read on the site that the engineering scholarships vary greatly.</p>

<p>they can give up to full tuition. good scores and gpa are important, but not sufficient. should have shown exceptional promise in an area beyond school academics, i think.</p>

<p>Many factors and considered when deciding who to award money to. There is not a set formula. (or one that we know of). A lot of scholarships have caveats - such as the Century scholars program etc. </p>

<p>That being said, if you are well qualified, you stand a chance to get money.</p>
