Alumni Distinguished Scholarships (ADS)
ADS is one of the nation's outstanding scholarship programs, based on intellectual performance. The stipend, which is renewable over eight semesters, covers tuition, fees, room and board, plus $1,000 per year toward expenses (approximately $13,500 per year for Michigan residents and $24,000 per year for out-of-state residents). Students from all over the nation compete by examination on the MSU campus in February. Participation is by invitation only. Invitations are sent to the most outstanding students who apply for admission to MSU by November 1. At least 15 awards are made each year.
Distinguished Freshman Scholarships
Awarded to at least 20 runners-up in the ADS competition, tuition and fees for nine semesters (approximately $7,000 per year for Michigan residents and $17,400 per year for out-of-state residents).
Who gets them? Kids that would othewise get into top 25 schools. |

My son received their top scholarship which was at the time $9000 (36000-4 years) and I believe there were quite a few more recipients - maybe around 40.(He did not attend) We also know another kid from our high school who received one of the scholarships at a lesser amount; he was a good student but not stellar. I know I saw a chart somewhere on the website that shows number of recipients for each award each year. I can't remember if the number I saw was for the top scholarship or all of them. | |

High both in numbers and amount, also give community service scholarships for kids interested in community service, not pure merit. These scholars do a certain number of community service hours. http://www.rhodes.edu/Admissions/Scholarships/index.cfm | |

| I think it would also be helpful to people to post the amounts their children were offered. It was done last year in the Parents Forum, Best Merit Awards from Where? I know it helped me to see how much merit aid different schools offered. | |
