<p>Does UVA offer substantial merit sholarships (like full tuition to full rides) other than the jefferson scholars program?</p>
<p>The Office of Admission has no money.</p>
<p>The Alumni Association has some scholarships and the Office of Student Financial Services awards others (those often take need into account). A few departments give merit money to students. The School of Engineering, for example, has given some pretty substantial scholarships in the past. You can’t apply for those.</p>
