Hello all,
Starting the college search for son #2 and he wants to go out of state (we live in MN). We are looking for schools that will provide in state tutition rates if you receive a merit scholarship. Some I know of are UNM, Texas Tech, anyone know of others?
USCarolina
Many do depending on the grades and ACT scores
Ohio State has scholarships that provide in-state tuition rates.
Texas A&M. Qualified scholarships over a certain amount.
Kansas, college of Charleston, Montana, Miami of OH, Alabama
@Bubblewrap666 - For Alabama I don’t see it anywhere on the website and heard they discontinued. Do you know where I could find the OOS waiver?
@mnacttutor I’ve heard here several times that there’s an automatic honors college acceptance (with tuition reduction or waiver) at 30-something ACT but haven’t looked myself since Alabama is out of our personal geographic area of interest. You may be right, sorry if I misled.
Alabama used to offer full tuition scholarships with a 32. This yr it was reduced to a lump sum (iirc $25k) with a 33, which is close but not quite full tuition.
University of Nebraska (Lincoln) George Beadle Scholarship ($14,500) for 29 ACT and good GPA brings OOS to instate tuition, roughly
I definitely recommend the University of South Carolina
Texas A&M does but they have made the OOS waiver brutally hard to get. There was a thread last year and I seem to remember some fell short by like $500.00. Definitely investigate to see how many are awarded.
@bobo44 Nebraska comes in 1200 higher than instate after deducting Beadle award… we were awarded Leverton Which 13K due to falling short on ACT … today they increased it to Beadle … this was a result of me letting the scholarship office know we were deciding between three colleges and the other two came in lower due to higher merit
Florida State University offers IS tuition to higher stats OOS students, with opportunities for additional merit $ too
@Mom2E Wait you just UNL and they just increased it to Beadle?? What was your ACT?
I don’t know about how Nebraska is with negotiating scholarships, but overall it’s a very responsive & well-run place. They often get their acceptance notifications out just a few days after you apply.
@Lehigh2022 only 26 on ACT but unweighted 3:89 GPA with lots of AP and honors coursework …
@Mom2E Because I received the Leverton scholoarship for 13k a yr, and I was going to see whether they can bring it up to Beadle as well. Did you just call them and asked them to raise it to Beadle or did you have to negotiate a bit? My stats are along the same line as yours.
@Lehigh2022 sent you a private message with detail
@Bubblewrap666 College of Charleston offers merit, but does not offer OOS waivers based on merit
