<p>Example:</p>
<p>Non-Miissippi resident that has a ACT score of 32 or higher will receive the academic excellence scholarship equal to full tuition. A wide variety of scholarships are also available and will stack.</p>
<p>LSU automatic scholarships for non-residents, minimum requirements:</p>
<p>Golden Oaks Award:<br>
ACT 30, SAT 1330, GPA 3.0 = exemption from full tuition and fees</p>
<p>Tiger Scholars:<br>
ACT 26, SAT 1170, GPA 3.0 = exemption from 1/2 of nonresident tuition and fees
ACT 28, SAT 1250, GPA 3.0 = exemption from nonresident tuition and fees</p>
<p>Non-Miissippi resident that has a ACT score of 32 or higher will receive the academic excellence scholarship equal to full tuition.</p>
<p>That’s not exactly true. You don’t get “full tuition.” The above scholarship is for the “non-resident” portion or tuition ($7,938). You still have to pay the regular portion of tuition which is $5,106 per year. </p>
<p>So, the scholarship gives you the in-state rate. Not bad, but might be shocking for someone thinking that tuition would be free.</p>

Net effect is a full tuition scholarship. (Lesser awards are available for students that meet other criteria).</p>

<p>I think that Auburn only has automatic scholarships for Alabama residents.</p>
<p>Auburn seems to have changed their wording. They still have their auto scholarships for NMFs, but it seems that their OOS scholarships are now competitive. I wonder how “competitive” they really are or if most get them. <a href=“http://www.auburn.edu/scholarship/academic-scholarships.html[/url]”>http://www.auburn.edu/scholarship/academic-scholarships.html</a></p>
