Chancellor's</a> Scholarships - IPFW</p>
<p>Thanks for starting this very helpful thread!</p>
<p>Is there any college/university other than University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, that is in the top 100 in US News ranking, that offers full tuition/full ride for SAT/GPA scores?</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>There might be some schools ranked lower than Bama, or there might be some schools that require higher scores....but Bama (#75) is the highest ranked school that gives an assured full tuition scholarship for an ACT 32+ (or SAT M+CR 1400+) and a 3.5 GPA if you apply by Dec 1st. No higher ranked Nat'l univ does this. </p>
<p>As for those that are ranked between 75 and 100, I don't know of any that give assured full tuition scholarships for the same stats.</p>
<p>Hi BobWallace,
Does a diploma from IPFW carry the same weight as the one from the main Purdue campus at West Lafayette? US News Review has classified IPFW as a "Regional Universities (Midwest), Tier 2" whereas Purdue is ranked 62 among the National Universities, and it is well known that Purdue is a top university. But the merit scholarship at IPFW seems to be very good. I guess one has to weigh merit aid against rank.</p>
<p>@ Quiet Thinker.........I grew up in Indiana, haven't lived there in many years but NO a diploma from IPFW doesn't carry the same weight as one from Purdue or Indiana. </p>
<p>If you attend IPFW and major in Business your degree is from Indiana whereas if you major in Engineerinig your IPFW diploma would be issued from Purdue.</p>
<p>I currently live in North Carolina and same thing goes here, a degree from UNC-Asheville or UNC-Pembroke is not the same as one from UNC (Chapel Hill)</p>
<p>Not saying they (IPFW or UNC regional campus locations) aren't good schools just honestly answering your question</p>
<p>Quiet...</p>
<p>My H is from Indiana and is a Purdue grad. No, a degree from IPFW is not viewed the same (or even close) to a degree from P or from IU. </p>
<p>another issue is that if your child isn't from the area, he/she will likely be very lonely at night and on weekends if he attends IPFW since many/most of the students will be either commuters or suitcase schools.</p>
<p>When one considers merit awards, one needs to take into acct what the atmosphere of the school is....are there things on campus during weekends that keep kids there (like big sports), will too many kids go home on weekends or nights, etc? </p>
<p>I'm reminded of one of my son's classmates. Her parents were thrilled that she got a big scholarship to their alma mater (an OOS univ that was largely commuter/suitcase and wasn't a top public in that state). The family had all these sentimental hopes of their child graduating from the same univ that they did (they had been locals/commuters). Everyone warned them that this would likely be a mistake for their D. When Fall came, their D happily enrolled. Her Facebook messages quickly told a sad story. Her initial excitement quickly turned to sadness as she found herself alone at night and weekends as friends/classmates headed home. She finished the semester and transferred out...losing merit opps at the other schools where she had offers...except one ...Miss State reoffered her their initial offer (this is rare!). She now attends Miss St.</p>
