<p>I'm also posting this on the parent board.</p>
<p>I see a lot of interesting college web sites but when I read they only offer need-based aid, I look elsewhere. We normally would have qualified for need-based aid but my son has some substantial student assets that makes it appear that we won't qualify for any, if I am understanding things correctly.</p>
<p>So, I want to narrow down those who offer academic scholarships, and further narrow down to those who offer any full-tuition (or preferably even full-ride) scholarships to be competed for. </p>
<p>Is there a way to do this? I've done things like the search on petersons.com but couldn't get this narrowed down this way. I've seen the list on CC of colleges that offer full rides but I also want to narrow down other ways and search.</p>
<p>Is this possible? </p>
<p>Many private colleges look so great but then I find out that even their best merit scholarships don't come close to paying even half of the yearly cost. I'd love to find some that would offer something more substantial (but I understand most of these deals would be at public universities or such). But worth a try, I guess! </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
