<p>Now that you have shared more about your interests and talents, here are a few
thoughts for you:</p>
<p>Missouri: Full price for a non resident is $36,200 and it appears you could get<br>
$7,000 off with your current stats and $10,000 if you increase those scores.<br>
$10k would be nearly half tuition. Do you think that would meet your parents’
requirements or is it half of the total cost to attend (very different things)?
This is a great journalism school.</p>
<p>Northwestern: My understanding is that they only give athletic scholarships and
no other merit scholarships. However, it’s dimly possible there are special
scholarships for the debate team. That is the only possibility of merit that I
see for you.</p>
<p>University of Maryland at College Park: Given that you are looking at state
schools, this is an excellent program. I am not sure how you didn’t include it
when you have UCF on your list; there are 26,000 undergrads at UMD-College Park.<br>
Great curriculum, great connections, great facilities. Proximity to DC. Cost is
$42,000 a year. They indicate they have some scholarships; you would have to
contact them. It would also be far cheaper to get to/from school than some of
your other choices. </p>

<p>Actually Gonzaga University historically has been known for its journalism
program. Seattle University is also has a solid journalism program and is in one
of the coolest cities in the country. Both could potentially give her really
good aid. </p>
<p>From the Seattle U website:
“Journalism students routinely are placed in internships at The Seattle Times,
seattlepi.com, Seattle Weekly, KCTS 9, KIRO Radio, The News Tribune, and ESPN.
Journalism majors are taught and mentored by internationally-recognized
journalists. They have won national journalism awards, taught as Fulbright
Scholars in England and Latin America, and all have turned their journalism
endeavors into books.”</p>
