Both Villanova and Boston College annually award Presidential (100% tuition) scholarships. Applicants must be Early Action (much better option than ED), and must be accepted to the respective Honors program. In January, each school invites selected finalists to a 3-4 day visit that includes interviews, attending classes, and group activities; this past year, these were held in February. Each school invited about 60 finalists; BC awarded about 15 scholarships, and Villanova awarded about 30. Final award notifications are in late February or early March. Highly recommended option for well-qualified candidates - both are excellent schools.
