<p>That’s a shame about UMass Amherst. We had that on our list, but it’s not in-state for us.</p>

[Bethorama33]

<p>It still may be worth looking at? I saw they had over 600 different scholarships? We are going to cross it off our list because it’s just to far away from home for my son.</p>

[mathmomvt]

<p>It’s hard to get an idea what merit is available to OOS students otherwise, but from prior threads here I had guessed around $10K max which doesn’t warrant staying on the list if the NMF scholarship is definitely off the table. And even that (since it is competitive) was already a long shot.</p>

[Bethorama33]

<p>We are really hoping for the full tuition scholarship at Northeastern. They gave out 100 of them in 2010 so it seems very promising.</p>

[mathmomvt]

<p>The Northeastern one is guaranteed (or was, as of spring 2011, when I confirmed for my older son).</p>

<p>Oklahoma City University is now offering full tuition for NMF not a full ride. This change begins with the HS Class of 2013. You can see the two different requirements for last year and this year’s application process here: </p>

[atomom]

<p>University of Kansas 10K/year is in-state only.</p>

[BobWallace]

<p>UKansas website lists it under resident and non-resident. Is the website wrong?</p>

[atomom]

<p>No, I am. Sorry–I didn’t see the non-resident page. (Never mind. . .)</p>

[Aggie84]

<p>FROM UNLV WEBSITE–no mention of in-state only, or what the “full cost of attendance” covers, but you might want to look into it since it appears pretty generous.
Note–“until funds expire”. </p>

<p>President’s ScholarshipAward: </p>

<p>•Full cost of attendance for the fall and spring semesters
•Effective fall 2012 the President’s Scholarship will also pay for one full semester of study abroad expenses anywhere in the world regardless of cost. This is an an excellent opportunity for UNLV Presidents’ scholars compared to other schools who may not offer the same value.
Initial Award Criteria: </p>

<p>•National Merit Finalist & must list UNLV as first school choice
•New freshmen students who have never attended college
•Must be admitted to UNLV by Feb. 1
•Full time enrollment (12 credit hours or more)
•Automatic consideration until funds expire
•Cannot receive in conjunction with a Midby/Byron, Provost, Mildred Cotner, UNLV Excellence or Rebel Achievement Scholarship
Renewable:</p>

<p>•Up to 130 credit hours of consecutive enrollment
•12 or more credit hours each semester
•2.75 cumulative GPA each semester
•Must be maintaining the financial aid satisfactory academic progress policy</p>

<p>Hey Bob, thanks for doing all this work. I really appreciate it The U. Cincinnati listing is not quite correct. It is also available to OOS, but they only add $3K/year to award.</p>

<p>Also, you could add U of Minnesota Twin Cities Gold Scholar Award $10-12K/year (see my post #598/602.) The scholarship listing says they give ‘preference’ to NMF, but it really is for NMF and 125 awards last year is fairly significant #.</p>

<p>This is what Louisiana State University sent to me:</p>

<p>Criteria: College sponsored National Merit Finalist who indicates LSU as their first choice institution.</p>

<p>Award: $750 to $2000 per year based on financial need and the opportunity to earn up to $1550 per year by participating in the Chancellor’s Future Leaders in Research Program. This scholarship is in addition to the student’s merit scholarship offer through Chancellor’s Alumni Scholars, LSU Alumni Association’s Global Leaders, Flagship Scholars Award, LSU Academic Scholars Award or the Tiger Excellence Scholars Award.</p>

<p>Chancellor’s Future Leaders in Research Program offers a unique opportunity for students to conduct research early in their college career. Students are partnered with a faculty member in the field of their choice to work side-by-side in a research setting learning what a career in their chosen field may be like. As a member of the research team, students receive guidance and support to expand their knowledge and skill. Students participating in this program can work up to 20 hours per week to earn up to $1550 per year. The student is paid an hourly wage and paychecks are sent bi-weekly.</p>

<p>I may be reading the University of Illinois site wrong but it looks like NNF scholarship is $500/year renewable for 4 years with 3.0 GPA. Other scholarships are full tuition but not NMF.</p>

[tootiredtocare]

<p>Sorry, really tired (see user name)- I meant to start with a BIG thank you to BobWallace for putting together the list with the links. You are wonderful & clearly have more energy than me!</p>

I may be reading the University of Illinois site wrong but it looks like NNF scholarship is $500/year renewable for 4 years with 3.0 GPA. Other scholarships are full tuition but not NMF.

</p>

<p>That’s bad news for Illinois residents - last year the Provost scholarship was listed as automatic for not only NMF, but also National Achievement and National Hispanic Scholars. It looks like they have changed the Provost to competitive, limited to 30 awards, and no mention of National Merit.</p>

[PaulSW]

<p>Here’s another addition:</p>

<p>Liberty University in Virginia</p>

<p>from their website below:</p>

<p>National Merit (Resident)</p>

<p>Note: Scholarship is for prospective students only. Current students who did not receive this scholarship upon matriculation are not eligible.</p>

<p>Award:
Finalist - Full tuition, room & board for up to four years
Semi-finalist - Full tuition for up to four years
Commended - Full tuition for up to four years</p>

<p>If a recipient of a National Merit award is also awarded a stipend through the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, the stipend is stacked onto the awards listed above.</p>

<p>Eligibility: Must show National Merit Certificate and be in Honors Program to receive scholarship.</p>
