^^^ none of Miami's schollies are full-rides. They have a competitve full tuition scholly, but they don't say how many students are given that scholly...it could be 1, 5, 10 students...who knows?? You might write to their scholly office and ask how many usually apply for that one, and how many are usually awarded. (Personally, I don't like when they don't give a number for competitive schollies...if they awarded a large number, I think they'd say it on their website.)
Since the full tuition scholly is a competitive scholly, anyone (including you) has a shot at winning it. But, don't rely on any school with a competitive scholly to be one of your financial safeties.
Also, be careful about any schollies that are for a specific amount - say $15k per year towards tuiton. That may work out to be half tuition the first year, but as tuition increases, that $15k will no longer cover half of tuition costs. And, of course, after paying your portion of tuition, you still have room, board, books, etc, to cover.
Here is the info from their website...
