<p>If you are an OOSer at a flagship public university and are receiving in-state tuition, could you please post your stats as an incoming freshman, as well as the university that you are attending? If there's a student profile out there for this type of scholarship, that would also be immensely helpful information. Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m not sure I understand your question. Are you asking about the stats of people that got enough merit aid to bring the cost of tuition for an OOS student to the same level as an in-state student??</p>
<p>Are you trying to find OOS publics that you might be able to go to at a discounted rate (either the in-state rate or less)? Do you want to find out if your stats would merit such a discount or scholarship?</p>
<p>What are your stats???</p>
<p>** The University of Alabama ** - [The</a> University of Alabama](<a href=“Page Not Found | The University of Alabama”>http://www.ua.edu/)</p>
<p>The Presidential is a full OOS tuition scholarship. So, it’s a full tuition scholarship 
(see below for details)</p>
<p>The UA Scholar pretty much covers the OOS portion of tuition. So, the balance would be about the in-state rate. (see below for details)</p>
<p>The OOS tuition rate is around $19,000. The in-state rate is around $7000. [Estimated Semester Budget](<a href=“http://cost.ua.edu/undergraduate-budget.html”>http://cost.ua.edu/undergraduate-budget.html</a>)</p>
<p>** Out-of-State Scholarships ** [Out-of-State</a> Scholarships - Undergraduate Scholarships - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://scholarships.ua.edu/types/out_of_state.html]Out-of-State”>http://scholarships.ua.edu/types/out_of_state.html)</p>
<p>** Presidential Scholar ** [my note: this scholarship is worth about $80,000]
An out-of-state first-time freshman student who meets the December 1st scholarship priority deadline, has a 32-36 ACT or 1400-1600 SAT score and at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA will be selected as a Presidential Scholar and will receive the value of out-of-state tuition for four years. </p>
<p>** UA Scholar ** [My note: This scholarship is worth about $60,000]
An out-of-state first time freshman student who meets the December 1st scholarship priority deadline, has a 30-31 ACT or 1330-1390 SAT score and at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA will be selected as a UA Scholar and will receive 2/3 tuition for four years.</p>
<p>** And, if you major in Engineering, the UA Scholar scholarship will be increased to FULL Out-of-state tuition. </p>
<p>Plus, for Engineering, those with ACT 30+, will get an additional $2500 per year. ** [College</a> of Engineering - Scholarship Information](<a href=“http://coeweb.eng.ua.edu/future_students/scholarship.htm]College”>http://coeweb.eng.ua.edu/future_students/scholarship.htm)</p>
<p>Strong academics, Beautiful campus, awesome dorms, great football :)</p>
<p>Admissions app and Scholarship app must be submitted by Dec 1.</p>
<p>As long as you meet the stats and deadlines, you get the scholarship. But this is not for internationals.</p>
<p>I can take a hint 
Yes, we are trying to compile a list of OOS colleges that will offer enough scholarship money to make the cost of attendance about the same as what a local full payment resident pays. I hoped to summarize the information into a format that future students might find useful, so framed the question as ‘what student profile does the college want’, rather than ‘will the college offer me a discount’. That said, stats as follows:</p>
<p>Non-URM female
Undecided major, but not maths, physics etc
GPA 3.9 unweighted, 4.4 weighted
AP: AP with Honors presently, /<em>maybe</em>/ National AP Scholar by end of HS Senior year
NMSC semifinalist, finalist anticipated
SAT 650 m, 760 r, 800 w</p>
<p>If future posts seem to suggest a fractured personality, it may be simply a reflection of both daughter and father posting under the same login handle.</p>
<p>Moderators: If possible, please change title to:
OOSers paying in-state cost of attendance: Please report your profile!</p>
<p>Oh my! congrats!! :)</p>
<p>Your D is a likely NMF! Well then, she’d get a WHOLE bunch more from The University of Alabama!</p>
<p>** She’d get the BIG SCHOLARSHIP from The University of Alabama- including those fabulous honors super suites! <a href=“see%20above%20post%20for%20link”>/b</a></p>
<p>National Merit Finalist or National Achievement Finalist
[Top</a> Scholars Program - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://scholarships.ua.edu/topscholars/nmpackage.html]Top”>http://scholarships.ua.edu/topscholars/nmpackage.html)</p>
<p>Value of out-of-state tuition for 4 years </p>
<p>4 years of on-campus housing [my note: includes Honors Residence Halls)</p>
<p>$1,000 per year for 4 years </p>
<p>One time allowance of $2,000 for use in summer research or international study (after completing one year of study at UA) </p>
<p>Laptop computer** </p>
<p>(BTW…my son took this NMF scholarship, and that laptop is not some cheapy laptop. His is a highly upgraded laptop from Dell’s business line.)</p>
<p>** FYI…the above NMF scholarship for an OOS student is worth about $120,000 - That’s a big deal! ** :)</p>
<p>UA also has a 4 awesome programs in its Honors College - <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1063465381-post1.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1063465381-post1.html</a>
[Honors</a> College - University Honors](<a href=“http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/index.php?page=uhp]Honors”>http://honors.cbhp.ua.edu/index.php?page=uhp)</p>
<p>You say that your D is not interested in math and science. Perhaps she’d be interested in Business Admin. UA has a fab business school [The</a> Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration](<a href=“http://www.cba.ua.edu/]The”>http://www.cba.ua.edu/)</p>
<p>At a minimum, this should be a financial safety for your daughter. The online app process is easy (no essays, no recs). The apps for admission and for scholarship must be submitted by Dec 1. :)</p>
<p>** An out-of-state student who now attends UA recently posted on CC that… “UA is recruiting for the best and brightest students nationwide. For many students, it is the money that first interests us in Alabama, we visit, and then we get hooked.” **</p>
<p>The OP and others might want to check out this ‘stickied’ thread at the top of the Financial Aid forum:

<p>NMSF receive a automatic 1/2 tuition scholarship at the University of Southern Calif[ #26 in USNWR].Your D may be eligible for other scholarships, but she needs to have submitted her application by the Dec 1 deadline.

<p>EricLG there are also regional consortiums to look into. The Southern States consortium is the strictest and it stipulates that if you live say, in Maryland, but find a major at a public U in Florida that is not offered in a Maryland state U (dolphin training?) then you are eligible to pay in-state rates at that Florida U. You’d need to have a very particular major. The other regional consortiums are less strict, but I don’t know much about them.</p>
<p>In addition to merit aid, certain state schools charge in-state tuition to all OOSers, regardless of merit. University of Minnesota- Morris and Eastern Oregon practice this. There are probably others that I can’t recall at the moment, too. That’s worth looking into.</p>
<p>^Think there might be a school in Montana that also gives in-state rates to everyone? But don’t quote me on that.</p>
<p>University of South Carolina-Columbia offers the Cooper and McKissick Scholarships. The Cooper is $4000 a year and the McKissick is $2000 a year. In addition to the money given, the student pays the instate tuition rate.</p>
<p>In addition to South Carolina-Columbia, Clemson offers scholarships to OOS students that effectively make it the same as the instate rate. Last year the cutoff was 1350 or so SAT.</p>
