^ @skieurope @MaineLonghorn maybe can. Or you could just start a new thread there. I'll hold my comments until then.

UAH recently changed their Charger Excellence merit scholarship. The tests score have gone up and the housing is only for 2 years instead of 4 years. My DS had taken 3 visits and had said that he was about 97% sure that is where he was going. Now he wants to visit UA, UAB, and Florida State.

Should we start a new thread for 2018? Think this one from University of Georgia meets the criteria: Foundation Fellowship - https://www.admissions.uga.edu/scholarships/.

Nope! I missed the bit about being AUTOMATICALLY granted. How do I delete? New to the group.

The Foundation Fellows is a VERY competitive Stamps foundation scholarship. Nope, NOT automatic.

@GoCubsGo719 - Do you mind sharing where your daughter got a full tuition/housing scholarship. Thank you!

Would Webb Institute qualify? Every admitted student receives full tuition. They only offer one degree Naval Architecture and Marine Egineering, BS (abet accredited) tiny incoming class sizes of 25 or so. "current enrollment of only 94 students"

Is there an updated forum for 2018? I'm applying to colleges right now.

COboysmom · October 2018

@iiMimic - I don’t think so. We just worked off that list. Make sure to read through the whole thread though because there are updates. Good luck!

Thank you!

If the student is interested in an engineering major, check if the desired major exists at each school (some do not have any engineering majors).

Also, some of the scholarships have changed (in recent years, changes have generally been less favorable to the student, as in scholarships getting smaller, requiring higher thresholds, changing from automatic to competitive, no longer being offered at all, etc.). Check on school web sites to see what the current offerings are.
