FORDHAM offers some competitive merit scholarships for top students. If you are in the Top 10% and a National Merit SEMI-Finalist or Finalist, National Hispanic Recognition Scholar or National Achievement Scholar, you can be eligible for a full-tuition scholarship if offered admission.

If you are #1 or #2 in your class and have a fantastic application, Fordham has a Presidential Scholarship offering full-tuition and room for all four years and I think you gain admission to their small honor's program, some preferential treatment and special preparation for prestigious fellowships and grad. school placement.

Then there are several other offerings including the Dean's which is a minimum of $7,500 a year up to full-tuition based on financial need. I am pretty sure you need to be in the Top 10% of your class for most of these scholarships, but some students were not and received pretty nice scholarships. They have also increased the amount of merit aid offered to top students this year.
