What's the deal for OOS NMF at Texas A&M? Obviously, if an OOS NMF has to pay OOS tuition, then the above isn't much help. BUT, I've heard that OOS students that receive a scholarship from Texas A&M then also get to pay the lower instate rate. Is that true. If so, then the NMF scholarship for OOS is quite good.

Texas Tech's NMF scholarship seems to have improved since it was first added to this list. This page:

Merit Scholarship Information

says it's $12,000 plus $7,800 toward room and board. That amounts to more than the total cost of attendance for an in-state student, and just $3,795 short of tuition, room, and board for an out-of-state student.

where did you find the COA for OOS? The info that I found says the COA for OOS is $28k per year and that was for 2008 year...so I imagine it's higher now and will be higher next year.



BTW...for all scholarships, people need to keep in mind that when an amount is set forth (rather than a statement of full tuition or full housing), a person has to realize that the current COA on a website is for the current year, and will be increased each of the 4 undergrad years.

The scholarships total $19,800.

I got my figures from College Board. The total in-state cost of attendance (including books and incidentals) adds up to $19,238, so actually the scholarships are just shy of the total cost if you're in-state.

The out-of-state figures are $23,322 for tuition, room, and board, and $27,548 total for all costs, so it looks like our figures are about the same.

Some schools have a policy that full-tuition or full-ride scholarships increase along with rising costs, and some don't. I've seen the policy posted on some schools' websites, but usually not, and in either case it's worth a phone call to make sure.

From what I've found...if the scholarship says "tuition for 4 years," or "50% of tuition for four years", then the amount goes up each year. BUT....it it's a set amount, like $15,000 towards tuiton (which may be 50% at that moment), that amount doesn't rise as tuition goes up.

NJIT offers scholarships (guaranteed, I think?) for full tuition, fees and room and board if you live on campus, without having to designate them as a first choice school.

Great List Very Helpful thank you so much!
Hi Keil,
Thank you so much for taking the time to compile and maintain this list! And administering and replying to all these questions and updates. You could probably create a service with this kind of research... That said, my daughter is a NMSF and a National Hispanic Rec Prog Scholar and your listings are pretty much right on target with what we have been receiving. Money is an issue for us - so the offers are VERY influential. It is a roller coaster ride to receive so much mail and do so much research on each web site - thanks again for your hard work - I will be bookmarking this site and referring to it often!
Wendy

Merit - Scholarships - Future Students - WSU
Quote:
WSU welcomes National Merit Scholarship semifinalists.
Receive full tuition for up to four years of undergraduate studies.

For Washington residents, this award is valued at more than $30,000 total (based on current in-state tuition rates for 2009-2010).*

For students from outside the state of Washington, the award value is approximately $75,000 total (based on current non-resident tuition rates for 2009-2010).*
My high school sends a ton of students to WSU, and most of the people I know love it there. If you are interested in a largish school in a rural college-town environment, WSU might be worth a look. They have top programs in architecture, advertising, civil engineering, communications, and pre-vet (among others).

Texas A&M clarification
DS is NMSF and considering A&M. The material we have received states that students who receive a scholarship of 1K or more from the Honors Program are eligible for the out-of-state tuition waiver. The out-of-state waiver is worth apprx. 15K a year. TAMU stacks their NM scholarships, and this is an exact duplication of what was sent to us regarding NMF scholarships:

"The typical package for a National Merit Finalist is....."
President's Endowed Scholarship $12K
Director's Excellence Award $10K
NM Recognition Award $24K
TAMU Sponsorship $2,600

Total over 4 years $48,600
Merit Plus (freshman year only) $2,000
Grand Total $50,600

There is also a 1K scholarship for Study Abroad

So first year it's worth $14150 and other 3 years it's worth $12,150, If out-of-state, you can add another apprx $15K for the tution waiver per year. The scholarship covers apprx. 88% first year, and 75% for the other 3.

The COA according to TAMU for 2009-2010 is as follows:

Tuition/Fees 8,336
Dorm 5,098
Meal Plan 2632
Total....$16,066

Hope this helps!

Also, A&M offered to fly my daughter out there for a look. (We're in NY.) So that might be a good thing to watch your mail for. That was two years ago, though. Not sure if they're still doing it.
