National Merit Scholarship

<p>I have heard that ASU gives full rides to NMF. But I saw that they give 23k/yr to NMF. That would still leave around 9k/yr. So which one is true?</p>

<p>Not a full ride, but rather more than full tuition, to OOS NMF. It is 23k/yr. at present. One thing to keep in mind, this scholarship will not go up in all four years even though tuition and fees may go up in future years.</p>

<p>Yeah, but even not full ride, it’s still a lot less than most colleges. And the honors college really is awesome, both the institution and the physical location. A lot of the schools that offer full rides are just as iffy stat wise as ASU, but without the honors college. I do agree with the above poster, however. By the time I graduate, I’ll be lucky if my scholarship covers the tuition. Still glad I came here though.</p>

<p>It’s true that ASU used to give close to full rides to NMF a few years ago, but the school has had to reduce the value of these scholarships in recent years due to State budget cuts. It’s still a good bargain though – especially if you get into Barrett Honors College.</p>

<p>How much have tuition/costs been going up per year? Do you think they will raise the price a bit within the next couple years? Barrett looks awesome, but I can’t justify spending 10k+ per year when Michigan would be just over double.</p>
