<p>Does anyone know of merit-based [not need-based aid] scholarships given out by fairly well-reputed, and well ranked colleges? And if so, what would the criteria be to apply for it?
I'm not necessarily looking for full scholarships, but decent amounts.
Thanks.</p>

<p>There’s also a current thread about automatic full tuition scholarships - just look for the thread a little ways below yours.</p>

<p>Well…how much can you pay for? That will give us an idea of how much you need.</p>
<p>For instance, if you/your family can pay about $15k per year, that would cover room, board, fees, books, personal expenses and transportation. That would mean that you’d need a Full Tuition scholarship to pay for the rest.</p>
