Congrats to your son on his strong profile!
As he is quite likely to be a National Merit Finalist, I would definitely check out this link.
Below are some schools that I think are highly likely to hit the budget (with more details/rationale in this post):
-
Mississippi State: Probably around $9k first year and $17k/year subsequently
-
U. of Kansas: Probably around $21k
-
U. of New Mexico: Probably around $15k
-
New Mexico State: About $3k first and $7k/year subsequently
-
Oklahoma State: Nearly a full ride
-
U. of Houston: About $11k
-
U. of Idaho: Full ride
-
U. of Nebraska - Lincoln: About $14k
-
U. of Oklahoma: About $9k first year and then about $15k
Also, I believe Washington State gives free tuition to NMF students.
This post also shared some schools where he could try and get some big scholarships (full tuition or full rides):
- U. of Miami
- Villanova
- Wake Forest
- Tulane
- Boston U.
- Duke
