<p>Latest news on Hiram college- they have scholarship weekend competition- about 40 people attended from admitted applicants. They go through discussion, panel interview and essay writing. Offer of 3 full tuition scholarships and undisclosed amount of 3/4 and half tuition, also some other merit aid.</p>
<p>I agree with amith1</p>
<p>Ivy League is just not "doable" for those with middle income types that have high EFC's that are just not affordable. Many of us live (or have lived) in areas that are so expensive that we were not able to save lots of money for college (for each child!) in addition to regular family & retirement savings.</p>
<p>Has anyone else received full or near full tuition merit awards? If so, please post....</p>
<p>Out of State Students at *Ohio University * if they score a 32+ ACT or 1400+ (CR+M) SAT:</p>

<p>Total cost per year including R+B: ~$12,000</p>

<p>Guiltguru, a prominent NY cardiologist I know is a Wayne State University alumnus and a founder of the branch of medicine known nuclear cardiology. So your child will be in good hands at that school and can get an excellent education at that school.</p>
<p>has everyone received their merit offers or are there more expected? Please post.</p>
<p>Guranteed at least full in-state tuition at Ohio State University, a full ride could be on the way, pending an interview. I also got $7,250 scholarship for out of state students, which makes up the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition.
Also have $4,000 from Michigan State.</p>
<p>SenorMatador: Congrats.</p>
<p>Has everyone received their merit offers or are there more expected? Please post if you received a full or near full merit offer</p>

<p>Andi and family: Such wonderful news!!!</p>
<p>Thanks for posting on this list!</p>
<p>Andi, the Brandeis web site states, "Scholarship recipients will be notified by letter at the time of their acceptance into the university on April 1, 2006." How did he learn of the great news so soon? A friend's son is hyper about his Brandeis application and would love to get some information before 4/1.</p>
<p>Blue Ribbon folks have already been notified of scholarships.</p>
<p>Congrats to Andi on the scholarship!</p>
<p>Thanks Zuma-my friend's son is a very good student, but not of Blue Ribbon calibre. I guess he will have to sweat it out!!</p>
<p>Anyone else received a full or "near full" merit scholarship</p>
<p>Full in-state tuition to Pitt Honors College</p>
<p>Interviewing tomorrow for Chancellor's Scholarship (full ride plus travel money and other perks)</p>
<p>wish me luck!</p>
<p>Sorry, I'm new here, but has anyone short-listed the highest ranked schools with more than a very few big merit scholarships? Rumors I've heard are that USC and WUStL throw big money at top candidates in substantial numbers. Chicago perhaps a few. Rice is relatively cheap for everyone. Of course, there is money for NMF at a number of public schools.</p>
