<p>I got 1100(math and reading) from the SAT and my GPA is 3.8 out of 4.0. Do with these scores can I get a scholarship form a university. But not a scholarship like 3,000$ but like full tuition or full ride.</p>

<p>i don't think so...</p>

<p>Get that 1100 up to 1300 and we can start talking. Better yet 1500+ if you want to have some choices...</p>

<p>What's your nationality, crazyronaldo? It MIGHT make a difference if you come from a country that is very underrepresented in a college's applicant pool. Also, background makes a difference, too. Admission officials can give a lot of leeway to those who have overcome obstacles or who hail from unusual circumstances, and they are often far less generous to more well-off candidates or to those whose experiences have been more typical.</p>

<p>Make sure the schools you are applying to offer aid or scholarships to international students. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's rare.</p>

<p>woesme is right. Many U.S. colleges and universities have no scholarship funds available for international students, and those that do usually set the bar very high. That is, they offer aid to students who are typically far stronger than those they admit who do not need money or who are US citizens or permanent residents.</p>

<p>One way to find colleges that might have $$ for you is to go to the College Board "Matchmaker". College</a> MatchMaker - Type of School</p>

<p>Complete the questionnaire, selecting your preferences for type of school, location, majors, etc. Under the "Cost & Financial Aid" heading, be sure to check the box that says, "Include colleges only if they offer financial aid for international students."</p>

<p>Under "Admissions," enter test scores and grades that are LOWER than your own (e.g., If you are an A or B student, check, "Over 50% had GPA between 2.0 and 3.0." If your Math and Critical Reading SATs were 550 each, trying checking 500 for each or even 450)</p>

<p>When you hit "Results," you should get a list of colleges that MIGHT have financial aid for you. (If you get no results, or the list is very short, try varying your preferences.)</p>

<p>WARNING: This is just a very approximate way to generate school suggestions. You need to follow up each option with more thorough research.</p>

<p>you definitely can get in, but not with full ride.</p>
