My S recieved $24,000 a year from Tulane with admission to Honors College; $16,000 a year from Drexel with admission to Honors College and full tuition, room and board from University of Central Florida. He is a NMSF and if he makes finalist and lists UCF as first choice he will get the free tuition, room and board. Anyone know about UCF? We are from PA and are flying down to see the school over Presidents Weekend. I'm not sure about their academics - son plans on being a physics major.

moominmama,
Thanks for letting us know. She will visit at the end of February with her dad. We've already heard good things from her two best girlfriends who have visited, so we think she will like it a lot and are encouraging her to go and have an adventure away from home (CLU is very close to our home and in a suburban area, so not as much adventure for her there).

D received 13.2K per year from Wheelock College. This was a Merit scholarship based on combined GPA and SAT scores. Top tier Merit was listed as 10-12K per year, lower stats receive 8-10K. I'm not sure how my daughter rated 13.2K , but we were very pleased.

For D:
University of Iowa: $12,000 over four years; still waiting to hear about Old Gold and/or Presidential Scholarship
University of Missouri: $22,000 over four years
University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign: Haven't heard yet, but expect it to be minimal if at all, perhaps $1,000 a year
Saint Louis University: $48,000 over four years
Marquette University: $36,000 over four years, still waiting to hear about one or two other possible awards

I don't like to post stats, but I will say these were for between 30-33 on ACT, top 10% of class weighted rank.

D received $5,300 per year for Northern Michigan, art major and offered $7,500 per year from Rocky Mountain CAD, and SAIC offered her $2,000 without sending in a portfolio to apply for it.
