<p>I need one of those nice full rides to OSU also, so if you could chance me for those, that would be amazing. I don’t really qualify more merit aid, but my parents aren’t willing to pay for out of state schools. </p>

<p>I’m actually graduating once I finish my junior year.</p>

That will be most of the AP at my school except for AP Chemistry, Music Theory, and German.

<p>They’re obviously great stats. :slight_smile: So congrats. As far as a full ride, here are the various merit aid programs I know about:</p>

<p>All of the PSAT/national merit scholar business takes place your junior year, so that one’s probably out.</p>

<p>The Presidential scholarship with the maximus competition awards full in-state cost of education only, which is still a lot (room+board+some extra money I believe.) I imagine you’d qualify for the essay-writing competition.</p>

<p>Are you the member of an “underrepresented group?” ([The</a> Ohio State University](<a href=“http://undergrad.osu.edu/merit.html]The”>http://undergrad.osu.edu/merit.html), scroll down to see the requirements) With the Morrill Scholars Programs, there are three scholarships: one for full-price (everything: room/board, out-of-state tuition), one for in-state costs, one for the difference between out-of-state and in-state. </p>

<p>Are your parents willing to pay for an out-of-state school if you get a scholarship to give you in-state prices? That seems like your best bet to me.</p>

<p>Thank you. :slight_smile:
I don’t think I’m an underrepresented minority considering that my dad went to college and I’m in the upper middle class.
Reading the NMSQT site, I can still take the PSAT, but if I got any award I wouldn’t be able to get it until my freshman year of college, whenever they announce everything. </p>

<p>I don’t think my parents would be willing to pay in-state prices because a lot of the schools in Florida cost half as much to attend.</p>
