public uni and financial/merit aid for OOS students.

<p>is merit and financial aid rare for OOS students?</p>

<p>are full rides given to OOS students at all?</p>

<p>What good publics offer good aid for OOS (i heard bad things about the UC's)</p>

<p>I'm looking mainly at the top rated publics (ones mentioned in the USNEWS report)</p>

<p>Rare (especially at top universities).
Very few full rides are given any longer (though there are a number of full tuition).
If you're NMF then many schools offer scholarships (Oklahoma - I know, Arizona, Arkansas - I think).</p>

<p>SUNY Binghamton wants OOS; I think the tuition/room/board for OOS full price is about $23,000, and they give merit aid to top students.</p>

<p>This was discussed in depth recently:</p>
