<p>I will echo the comment about University of Tulsa. (last yr: about 40 full rides & many more near full tuition scholarships) My son visited many schools which offer nice NMF packages. Tulsa was perfect for him. His first year was everything he’d hoped for and was capped off with an awesome paid internship in DC in his field of study. The high percentage of NMF on campus creates a good environment for academic challenge as well as finding friends who are interested in studies in addition to having fun. The honors college has a nice grouping of classes which may appeal to your child. From a parents perspective, the smaller class size translated into the connection with professors that we hoped for, and their commitment to undergrad internships/research (TURC) really sets them apart.</p>
