The postman had to ring because the college info could not get into our box. Texas A and M $14,000 and maybe more...Stevenson in Maryland $10,000. Westminster in Utah offers a free ride worth $98,000 over 4 years. Nebraska says that the NHS designation may make him eligible for a full ride plus $2,000 for room and board. Other schools mention NHS designation and scolarship possibilities and honors programs in the same paragraph...see thread for schools mentioning NHS designation. I am starting to save all this and present it to our guidance counselors so they can try and get our freshmen and sophmores into PSAT prep classes--40% hispanic student body should have more than 2 NHS! We get quite a few really driven kids who make the ivies with free rides but many able but less spectacular students go to our local CC because of financial considerations and end up dropping out as they have to work to support their families when they live at home. NHS designation could give some the chance to get away and have a 4 year college education actually become reality. Also, these schools may help out kids without the designation but with capabilities and financial need. The schools want diversity and successful URM...they should be noted by our GC as "hispanic friendly" for future applicants.
