<p>Doesnt have to be close by also, but anywhere else?</p>

4

<p>bump bump please. I need suggestions. time is running out.</p>

5

<p>Have you looked at the merit scholarship sticky here?</p>

6

<p>Look on the financial aid board and see the list of colleges with guaranteed scholarships based on numbers. Otherwise, it’s a crapshoot, a lottery. The top students tend to get the best scholarships at colleges, so pick schools where you are one of the top applicants. Ask your GC where kids from your school tend to get full ride type scholarships. And then give it a whirl.</p>

<p>Maybe a shot at one of the Presidential Scholarships offered at Villanova & BC? All about your grades for both. Or Richmond’s has a few that no extra application is needed if submitted by - maybe Dec1. I know a boy who got it a few years ago, kids with special circumstances are considered. Check out there website.</p>

<p>You seem very business oriented…have you checked out Babson or Bentley? I am not sure how much you might get, but you might be a very attractive candidate at those schools.</p>
