| Thanks so much Bass/Curmudgeon. Didn't know about NACAC till Curmudgeon's post. Googled the acronym and found the info you posted BassDad (btw --about that ID --clever).
I'll now take another look at the letter/call the school when it reopens to get a better understanding of the state mandate requirement/deadline requirement.
Now it's off to the hot stove for me! *sigh* |

| From Knox College, I got a $16,000 annual scholarship -- $10,000 for academic merit; $3,000 for my art portfolio; and $3,000 for my writing portfolio. They also offer scholarships for theatre design, music, math . . . all sorts of things. Their comprehensive fee is around $35,000, so $16,000 is a sizeable chunk.
For any parents of aspiring writers with very solid portfolios: I found this one out too late, but you should check it out for class of 2013 and on--University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill has a full-tuition scholarship for creative writers, based on writing portfolio and interviews. It's called the Tom Wolfe scholarship. Definitely worth investigating!
Edit:
My stats: 3.77 GPA and 2150 SAT | |

| My son so far--
University of Missouri: Mizzou Heritage Scholarship (for nonresident children of alumni; gives him in-state tuition)
Ohio University (also OOS): Gateway Scholarship, Gateway Trustee Award, and Residence Hall-Dining Discount, totaling $9,250.
Ohio U has excellent merit aid based on GPA and SATs. (My S just missed the nonresident tuition waiver by 10 points.)
He wouldn't be able to use some of this money because it will be canceled out by his DC Tuition Assistance Grant, but I wanted to post the results so others could see the possibilities available for OOS students at state schools. | |

| S received a Dean’s Scholarship from the University of Scranton. He got $14,000 per year as long as he maintains a 3.25. This was his safety but the money will certainly make him think since his other schools are not as generous. Dean's Scholarship recipients are typically in the top 20% of their class and have a minimum SAT score of 1200/1600. His stats, as best as I remember:
SAT – 1310/1600
GPA – 3.987 W, 3.85 UW
Commended | |

| In addition to Mills, D got an unspecified "Deans Scholarship" to Santa Clara. Any estimates on that? Collegeboard says 5K. They let you know in January and/or March. | |

My son received $19,000 per year at St. John's University, still waiting from others-his SATs were total 2110, B student, not many extracuriculars. Guess he impressed at the interview! | |
