Institutional Merit Based Scholarships (Full Tuition +)

<p>^^^
Is that a specific engineering major or is it a “sub major” like a certificate program? What I mean is…Does Petroleum Engineering fall under Chemical Engineering?</p>

<p>If so, there are scholarships for Chem Eng.</p>

<p>Thanx for the answer mom2collegekid!
I’d like to know if there’s a college offering full admission scholarship for 2010. I heard that Park University did it for 2009 fall academic year. I’m trying to transfer to a college from the US and looking for a full tuition scholarships if there’s any.
Thanx for the answers ahead!</p>

<p>uzbek…</p>

<p>Are you already in college somewhere? You mention “transferring”. </p>

<p>Did you hear that Park U gave a full tuition scholarship to an Int’l student or to a US resident? Most scholarships are not available to Int’l students. (I’ve never heard of Park U…is that a campus university or an online U?)</p>

<p>When you say “full admission scholarship,” are you talking about tuition, room, board, books? </p>

<p>How much can your family contribute? And, what are your stats?</p>

<p>Have you looked at the thread for Int’l students?</p>

<p>I looked up Park U, and I don’t see where it has any of its own scholarships.</p>

<p>Hi again, I know that a guy was enrolled to Park University and he’s got full tuition scholarship (I guess it’s called academic tuition), and he doesnt pay for classes attending…
Yes, I’m a student in Uzbekistan graduated 4 year out of 5 years and I’m on academic break now, and looking for a college in the US to transfer my studies!
My family can contribute for my college about 4000$ a year (2 semesters) hopefully (I know it’s too little to have a chance to get to a college in the states, that’s why I’m looking for scholarships)!</p>

<p>Not sure if this is the proper forum, so pre-apologies.</p>

<p>My D received a letter from the Robertson Scholars Program inviting her to apply for the scholarship.
She is a junior in HS and has just started her search. However, Duke has been her first choice since 8th grade.
My question: Is there any significance to the invite letter? </p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Did your D take the PSAT as a sophomore? Or did she recently have a high score on the SAT or ACT?</p>

<p>Something must have triggered Duke into knowing about your child.</p>

<p>She did in fact take PSAT’s last year. I don’t think her scores were anything spectacular. Certainly not the ‘projected SAT scores’</p>

<p>She did attend TN HOBY conference and the HOBY WLC. There was reference to HOBY in the letter. So that must be it. I wonder if all WLC attendees or all state conference attendees receive the letter…?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>what are colleges and universities in USA that offer best scholarships for freshman international students? Which means, offer the most amount of money for lowest SAT/ACT scores.</p>

<p>rundll: I am not sure what you mean. First scholarships are generally very difficult and competitive and even more so for international students. So it will difficult for students with low SAT scores. And when you mean low, how low? 2300, 2200, 2100…1700? </p>

<p>If you post your statistics, people may be able to give you advice. If you ask a generic question, the answer will be “it depends on your profile…”. So I would suggest that you ask the question in the form of "My GPA is…, SAT score is…EC’s are… etc.) and then you will get better answer.</p>

<p>Ithaca College gives between 15-20 full rides to the Park School of Communications (Park Scholars). My daughter has main the finals…she is off to Ithaca next week for 2 days of interviews. (fingers crossed)
SATS- 3.95 unw
2.9 ACT
lots of community service (Which is actually one of the focuses of this award)</p>

<p>I searched and didn’t see this full ride mentioned, so I thought I’d add it: (sorry if it’s already been listed)</p>

<p>DS just got a full ride Presidential scholarship offer from SUNY Stony Brook (tuition/fees/room/board) for four years. We were shocked – I thought the Presidential scholarships were mainly for several thousand dollars.</p>

<p>This was DS’s safety school, but the idea of being able to graduate without any debt and without having to work unless he finds jobs he wants to do is pretty exciting. We’ve still got a few more schools to hear from, but since his first choice (MIT) turned him down, Stony Brook has become a contender.</p>

<p>DS’s stats: 2360 SAT; 92 UW GPA; some math/science ECs but no major awards; did summer programs in math and science including a prestigious one last summer.</p>

<p>Do you know some masters scholarship for international students? Full tuition scholarships too ?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help :)</p>

<p>Hey everyone, I know this is a lame question but…</p>

<p>What is the typical academic profile of a merit-based scholarship recipient (full-tuition / full-ride scholarship) ? 2400 SAT ? 4.0 GPA ? :p</p>

<p>Thanks a lot</p>

<p>There are few true full ride scholarships. Some are for nmf. Some are very competitive.</p>

<p>Few schools offer full rides.</p>

<p>Berea in Kentucky and the College of the Ozarks in Missouri pretty much offer full rides for those who are accepted.</p>

<p>^^^ Uh…no</p>

<p>You are confusing “free tuition” with full rides. At those schools, only the tuition is free.</p>

<p>A full ride includes tuition, room, and board.</p>

<p>Are there such full rides for international students?Please help with info.</p>

<p>Tuition is between 7,000-9,000 annually, so this is a great deal. No extra application, and students will be admitted to Honors College. Additional Honors scholarships are also available with separate application. </p>

<p>"Beginning in the fall semester of 2011, IUPUI will award the Chancellor’s Scholarship to any incoming Indiana high school student who earned a grade point average of 3.75 and scored at least 1250 on the SAT or 27 on the ACT.</p>

<p>These students will receive $8,000 a year for four years, for a total of $32,000, as long as they are enrolled full-time at IUPUI, regardless of their major, and maintain a grade point average of 3.3.</p>

<p>Further, Chancellor’s Scholars are automatically admitted to the IUPUI Honors College. The IUPUI Honors College provides access to specialized advising, state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to conduct research and participate in leadership development.</p>

<p>My daughter is a junior in high school and is looking to major in engineering. She wants to attend either Penn, U of Boston, Michigan, OSU or Stanford. I am looking for best options for merit based aid. She will not qualify for need based aid. Her high school does not rank the class but she is definately in the top 1%. She has a 4.0 gpa and will be taking the SAT and ACT next month. Her PSAT score was 2070. She has good activities such as quiz bowl, science olympiad and OMUN. Any info on possible merit based aid would be appreciated.</p>
