<p>What has been your experience in financial aid? More given for merit or need?? Help, please!</p>
<p>You should apply for the Morrill scholarship--it sounds like you would really qualify. You'll probably get invited to the Maximus Competition too, which is at least 2700/yr in merit money, with the chance to compete for more. I can't tell you much else, except that if you're a National Merit Finalist there's a good chance you'll get full tuition. My aid came from that and the Morrill Scholarship, plus state and federal grants and external scholarships.</p>
<p>OSU offers excellent merit based scholarships to good students. As Chrys mentioned, there are several sources from which you could get these $$. Some departments even offer their own scholarships. </p>
<p>Are you IS or OOS?</p>
<p>I'm OOS. But I've heard they reduce tutition to in-state price as a scholarship...I'm kinda hoping for more.</p>
