<p>My merit awards thus far aren't going as I planned, so I'm looking to apply to a few more schools that offer good scholarship money and still accepting applications this late in the process. Does anyone know of any?</p>
<p>What part of the country? Size? Tier?</p>
<p>Any of the above. I'm in a situation where finances are of the utmost importance, so I'm willing to sacrifice if necessary.</p>
<p>So long as the school isn't one step above community college, I'd be happy.</p>
<p>Stats are 3.65/30 ACT/from Nebraska</p>
<p>Does UNL do rolling admissions in the spring semester? That might be a good choice. </p>
<p>If you're into Engineering, Rose Hulman is in Indiana and could be pretty good. I doubt the costs will get below $30k per year, but it's worth a shot - and admissions are rolling.</p>
<p>St. Edwards in Austin, TX. Their "priority deadline" was 2/1 and their final deadline is 5/1. They have a financial aid calulator on their website, so you can plug in your stats and see approx. what they'd award.</p>
<p>They are also quite generous with AP credits, so if you have a lot of decent AP scores, it could knock a semester or so off the total.</p>
<p>petersons.aol.com/ugchannel/code/LateDeadlineSchools.asp great site lots of colleges and universities</p>
<p>I've already applied to UNL, al6200, and I've been accepted with a mere $1,000/year scholarship. Because UNL's pretty cheap in-state as it is, the university doesn't give out much merit aid. It's usually either all (Regent scholarships, which are really selective) or very little. </p>
<p>I'm also looking to double major in business and political science.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input from both of you, I appreciate it! I'm going to check out St. Edwards now!</p>
<p>Clemson comes to mind. I know they have a late deadline, and they offer merit aid.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input everyone, I've spent much of the afternoon looking through the Petersons list, trying to weed out the cheap, but quality schools</p>
<p>To the top.</p>
<p>Did you apply to University of Portland?</p>
<p>University of Arizona</p>
<p>They will give you something based on your stats and o/s tuition is not that high.</p>
<p>Az State also. They may not give you as much $$ ..not sure, but they have a great business program and reasonable tuition.</p>
<p>Are you eligible for need-based aid? It's late in the year to start shopping for schools that might meet full need on merit alone. </p>
<p>I would suggest talking with your guidance counselor ASAP. Some colleges will take late applications from qualified applicants if a counselor calls and smooths the way. </p>
<p>Here are some to check out. Some of these have late deadlines, others may take a late application if your counselor calls: Hendrix, DePaul, Alfred U, Manhattanville, U of Scranton, Southern Methodist U, Duquesne U, St. Louis U, Montana State, U of Montana, U of South Dakota, AUgustana College (IL), Earlham, Susquehanna U, Sewanee, Coe College, Hanover College, Austin College, Ripon College.</p>
<p>Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I've been looking into the schools that everyone has suggested to me.</p>
<p>Basically I'm in a unique situation where my family has a relatively high EFC ($24,000/year), but due to consumer debt as a result of a gambling addiction (which she is being counseled for), is currently undergoing the process of Chapter 13 bankruptcy. When I first applied, I was aware of much of the debt, but not to the full extent. Because of the bankruptcy proceedings, my parents won't be eligible for a PLUS loan or be able to co-sign for a student loan. My brother is willing to cosign for me, but the amount will be limited. So while many people were prestige-seeking, I applied to schools that I thought were either cheap enough where if I didn't get a lot of aid, I may be able to swing it, or places where I might be awarded a bit of aid. I haven't heard back from all of them, and I've heard back and been awarded some good-sized scholarships from a few, but I just want to cover all my bases. Thus, I figure applying to a few schools that may be able to offer a good size scholarship this late in the game, might not be a bad idea. I applied to quite a few schools (12) the first time around, in hope of catching a few good merit scholarships, and I was somewhat successful. My problem is, with most of the schools I applied to, though I received a merit scholarship (for instance Tulane, I received $18,000/year), the gap between that and the COA is too large.</p>
<p>I'm waiting to hear back from Seton Hall University next week about a full-tuition scholarship, and if that comes through, hopefully all of this worrying will have been for nothing. Again, I want to reiterate that I'm not seeking glamor or prestige, just a good school where I can get a solid education. </p>
<p>Anyhow, thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely be looking into them all!</p>
<p>Walt, Suny Binghamton is still accepting applications. It is a highly ranked school and is approximately 21k for out of staters. Suny Buffalo and Suny Stony Brook (both good solid schools) are also still accepting applications and are the same price as Binghamton. You could most likely apply for scholarships also and these schools would be looking to accept more students from out of state. A couple of other schools still accepting apps that are supposed to be good with aid are Lake Forest and Hendrix. Best of luck!</p>
<p>South Dakota (School of Mines &) Tech, New Mexico Tech. Eastern New Mexico U (Roswell) is also very inexpensive.</p>
