<p>I have a 34 on my act with a 3.98 unweighted and a 4.35 weighted gpa. I am trying to find schools that will give me a lot of money, such as full tuition. So far the only school I can find is Alabama. Is there a search program that I can put my stats into and show which schools will give me money or is there like a list or something?</p>
<p>Look at the sticky thread in this subforum.</p>
<p>The sticky threads are really confusing today. Have they somehow been linked internally to each other? This is the one you probably want: <a href=“Links to Popular Threads on Scholarships and Lower-Cost Colleges - Financial Aid and Scholarships - College Confidential Forums”>Links to Popular Threads on Scholarships and Lower-Cost Colleges - Financial Aid and Scholarships - College Confidential Forums;

<p>Are you going to apply to Alabama? What is your major?</p>
<p>I think Alabama and Temple are the highest ranked univs that give assured full tuition scholarships for an ACT 32+ and a high GPA.</p>
<p>There are a number of lower ranking schools that will give you large merit scholarships.</p>
<p>How much merit do you need? For instance, if you and your family can contribute $15k per year, then you would need a full tuition award so that the $15k can pay for room, board, books, fees, etc.</p>
<p>Those are great stats. There are quite a few smaller Catholic colleges where you’d be in the running for one of their competitive full tuition scholarships. </p>
<p>I think @mom2collegekids is right though about the guaranteed schools. It’s nice that they’re so different in vibe. I think most kids could happily find a home at one or the other, though neither one may be their dream school. Although my D is Philly born and bred, she wouldn’t even consider Temple, but Bama looks just fine to her.</p>
<p>I would think with at least one of those schools in your back pocket, you’d be able to shoot for some full tuitions at other schools. </p>
<p>What’s your probable major? Is there a specific area of the country you’d like to focus on? </p>
<p>This seems to be a fairly comprehensive list:
