Out of State Colleges That Offer More Than UCONN?

Some schools don’t have automatic scholarships, but you may still be pretty competitive for full tuition or full ride scholarships. Generally, you’re going to want to focus on places where you are in the top 10-25% of applicants.

For example, Oglethorpe University (a small liberal arts college in Atlanta) offers the James Edward Oglethorpe scholarship, which is anywhere from $17,000 to full tuition.

If you’re a young woman, Agnes Scott College (a small women’s LAC in Decatur, which is right outside of Atlanta) offers a number of large scholarships. A 1320 would make you competitive for those.

Furman University, a small LAC in South Carolina, offers big merit scholarships too. Their top scholarship is a bit of a long shot (they say generally selected students have a 1500+) but they have a smaller scholarship that’s $35K per year.
