Judging by the OP also considering Alabama, I think folks are generally talking about the TAMU National Merit scholarships. For OOS students, you get in-state tuition (worth over $17,000 per year) plus $10,000 per year. The net is that you get basically a full-tuition scholarship. National Hispanic Scholars get the same package.

FWIW, my son got a 4.0 in engineering first semester. He did work very hard, but the 3.5 is doable.
