You have a very short time for merit money. At Alabama you can get 2/3 off tuition with your stats. I think Bama would come in around 20k, is that right @mom2collegekids?

No…at Alabama she would get a FULL TUITION scholarship. This student has an ACT 32 …that qualifies for full tuition. So, final costs would be much less. </p>
<p>@Mydeskisamess Be sure that you send the ACT score to Bama…don’t bother sending the SAT…save your money.</p>
<p>YOU can’t borrow your way thru college. Your parents may not know that. </p>
<p>Alabama assured scholarship for stats…deadline Dec 15</p>
