<p>Thanks all for replying!!!</p>
<p>As you must surely know, the top winners of the Intel ISEF were each awarded something like a $50,000 scholarship in May. Other scholarships were also awarded to additional entrants who performed excellent research. If you would like to parlay your success in the Intel ISEF into tuition dollars to study business, then you will not receive any institutional merit aid from UPenn or Cornell, as Ivy League schools do no award any. Intel finalist is fairly impressive. Depending on your other credentials (GPA and SAT/ACT scores), you may have an excellent chance for a tuition scholarship from USC. Given your list of schools, I assume you are from the midwest. If you are from Michigan, then UM would certainly provide an affordable (in-state) excellent education either in business or in nearly any technical field. It might be tough to duplicate these opportunities with any scholarship.</p>
<p>Also, if you are from the midwest, you might also want to apply to Case Western. It may be a great choice to have a high probability of significant merit aid (my daughter attends there, and nearly all of her friends who are strong students received generous merit aid). Furthermore, I know a young man who was offered a half-tuition scholarship from CMU, and when he told them he had been offered $28,000 per year at Case (I don’t remember the exact amount), CMU matched that amount in their merit scholarship offer. If you have a technical bent, CMU’s business program may be an excellent fit. </p>
<p>I believe NYU’s “merit” scholarships are also dependent on financial need. I started my own company the year before my son started school, and I had a very bad financial year, and my son was awarded a $25,000 “merit” scholarship from NYU. However, they indicated that if my income increased significantly the following year the scholarship would be reevaluated (in our case, eliminated) so my son chose to attend USC as a Trustee’s scholar (full-tuition).</p>
<p>ahhh first thanks for your reply and second, to try to make it clearer, I am a Intel 4th Place Grand Prize Winner not just a finalist…and I do not remember a 50,000 scholorship, All I got was $500… I’m fairly interested about the “matching”.. So if I show a school what another school offered me (same tier and similar ranking of course =]) then that school can match or beat that offer? that sounds pretty cool! Also I am from Michigan and would the merit scholorship from USC be enough to even put a dent in USC OOS tuition?? Thanks again for replying!</p>
