<p>To the OP…I’m going to ask the obvious question. What is wrong with the many instate options you have as a New York resident. In addition to any federally funded aid, wouldn’t you also be eligible for TAP? While this might not be a completely free ride, it sure would be less costly than the OOS public universities you have listed.</p>
<p>You need to know that there are VERY few totally free ride scholarships out there and they are all very competitive and require a separate application to the universities that offer them.</p>
