<p>I want to apply to a Petroleum Engineering college at a university by tomorrow. I need to get at least a $1000 value scholarship from the university (primarily because that $1000 will waive my Out-of-Sate tuition in most cases)</p>

<p>Stats:
3.5-3.8 GPA (complicated story)
28 ACT composite </p>

<p>University of Houston is a good example. Thing is one dude at the university said I have to be a graduating senior from High School to get a scholarship. There's nothing mentioned like that on the university website so I'm probably going to apply for the university anyway. </p>

<p>What other universities are out there?</p>

<p>University of Tulsa in OK has a reputable petroleum program. Have their own oil rig set-up or something along those lines.</p>

3

<p>USC has the major! But it is harder to get into I believe.</p>

4

<p>Princeton has a good Chem E.</p>

<p>Go here and put in Petroleum Engineering in the “Program Area” to find colleges with accredited petroleum engineering programs and then you can search the applicable colleges’ sites for scholarship opportunties: [Accredited</a> Program Search](<a href=“http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx]Accredited”>http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx)</p>

<p>When they say you have to be a graduating senior from high school to qualify, they simply mean that any award of the scholarship is conditioned on your actually graduating from high school, but you apply for it now and find out result before you graduate.</p>

<p>Also, for many public colleges you are going to need a lot more than $1,000 to make up for the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition (for some the difference can be $10,000 to $20,000 a year)</p>

<p>Thanks for the link drusba. No University of Houston specifically mentioned that if I want to get a scholarship (that would waive my out of state tuition) I have to be graduating High School THIS year (I graduated 2011). Also of course $1000 is not enough to bring down out of state tuition to in state tuition BUT the university said that IF I GET a $1000 scholarship or more from the university, they will TAKE DOWN my out of state tuition to in state tuition. So for example if the OOS tuition was $25000 and the In state tuition was $9000, and if I get a $1000 scholarship from the university; I will have to pay $8000 for tuition and fees instead of $25000.</p>

<p>Unlike Houston, I don’t think most schools give in-state rates if you get $1K scholarship.</p>

<p>Texas Tech does.</p>
