Silverlady, my son has applied to St. Louis' Medical Scholar Program this year. He will write the Presidential Scholarship essay shortly. His SAT scores is 1490 (Reading 770, Math 720). Do you mind telling me your daughter's scores? I want to have a feel of my son's chances of being admitted and awarded with the scholarship.
Thanks.

Here's a useful link for those just starting the search for merit money:

It lists a very large number of top univerisites/LACs along with the % of students who get merit awards; average financial aid awards; and more:

eagermom, I applied for the med scholars program too... and I'm starting and finishing my pres. scholarhsip essay right now (oops... a little last minute..) your son's stats seem competetive for the scholarship. they give out 30 every year, so from his sat scores, i'd say his chances are fair to good. good luck!

UNC has scholarships besides the aforementioned Morehead and Robertson's that are also full rides for OOS students, I believe. I think Carolina Scholars is one of them.

For those of you interested in NYC as a college setting, CUNY's Hunter College has a wonderful honors scholarship package. From their website:

Quote:
Students in the Honors College receive a University Scholarship, which provides the following: tuition for four years; a dorm room; a laptop computer; a $7500 study grant, which can be used to study abroad or subsidize unpaid internships; a Cultural Passport that provides free or reduced entry to hundreds of New York City cultural institutions; and priority registration each semester.

Definitely looks into CUNY Honors College Program.

The program is not only at CUNY Hunter; the rest are Baruch College; Brooklyn College; City College; The College of Staten Island; Lehman College; and Queens College.

If admitted, it is free ride and you get a laptop, grant and all the other nice perks.

Congratulations GetouttaBuffalo! That's quite an achievement. I went to their website to research selection criteria and I had to laugh when I read this:

"demonstrate an abiding commitment to their local communities"

Heh, now that's ironic. (not picking on you, just that you were so passionate about getting out of Buffalo) I'm sure you'll seize the daylights out of this opportunity, good luck to you!
