<p>Alabama has changed its deadline to Dec 15. And, now accepts ACT and SAT exams scores thru Dec of senior year. This is a nice change.</p>

<p>Just wondering, did Newberry college decide not to give out a full ride scholarship this year? I followed the link and browsed through the various scholarships/grants, but I can’t seem to find one that gives a full ride.</p>

297

<p>Yes, it appears Newberry reduced their scholarship offerings across the board.</p>

298

<p>Thank you for providing us with all of these scholarship opportunities. It is greatly appreciated!</p>

299

<p>Does anyone one if the Millennium Scholar Award from Troy Univ, the Charger Excellence Award form Univ of Alabama Huntsville and the Distinguished Presidential from Tuskegee Univ available for intl students? Can’t find the info on their website. Thanks before!</p>

<p>[Latest update. Removed Newberry, Central Arkansas, Southern Arkansas, Arkansas-Little Rock. Added Tuskegee.]</p>

<p>This is a compilation of large scholarship awards that are automatically awarded. The awards included in this list meet the following criteria:</p>

<ol>
<li> Awarded automatically based on GPA, SAT, ACT, and/or class rank</li>
<li> At least Full Tuition/Full Ride in magnitude (or equivalent)</li>
<li> Open to all US students, regardless of state residency, ethnicity, race, etc.</li>
<li> No need-based requirement or component</li>
<li> College must be accredited, public or non-profit private, 4-year degree-granting institution</li>
</ol>

<p>Key:</p>

<p>Full Tuition: covers the cost of tuition for 4 years
Full Ride: covers Tuition, Room, and Board for 4 years (may include other benefits as well)
exp: stipend for experiential learning (internship, study abroad, etc., allowable uses vary by college)</p>

<p>I have also attempted to calculate the residual cost of attendance (COA) given the scholarship award. NOTE, however, that this was calculated based on each individual college’s published Cost of Attendance, and these estimates may vary in how they are calculated and what costs are included.</p>

<p>Where published, the application deadline for receiving the scholarships is included. Some deadlines are “Priority” deadlines, so awards after the deadline may still be possible. </p>

<p>Some schools give awards on a first-come, first-served basis as funds are available. A notation is included for all schools with this caveat. </p>

<p>The link to NCCU that you have no longer works.</p>

<p>The best scholarship that I can find now on its web site is the Soaring Eagle (3.5 HS GPA and 1900 SAT or 29 ACT; National Merit/Achievement/Hispanic Semifinalist with 1650 SAT also qualifies), which gives a full in-state ride. This amount approximates full out-of-state tuition.</p>

I owe it to this very post for leading me to find a great university which I am currently attending on a large scholarship, and will be able to graduate debt free in 2 more years :slight_smile: (Roll Tide!)

The list does appear to be a bit out of date though; I can go through some states like @OHMomof2 as I have a sister who is a rising junior in HS and am searching for some scholarship opportunities for her.

One I have noticed has changed is Louisiana Tech University is no longer giving a full ride to students with a 32 ACT/1400 SAT. Right now it appears you will get a $9,500 annual scholarship + OOS tuition waiver; which still covers tuition and fees + have some left over for Room/Board/Books/Misc. The requirements for that scholarship has been raised to 33 ACT + 3.75 GPA. They do have some lower requirement scholarships, the lowest of which that still covers tuition is the ‘Outstanding Student’ scholarship which appears to be for $6,500 annual; that one requires 31 ACT + 3.75 GPA

– Updated July 2017 –

Texas State University’s scholarship has not changed, but with rising tuition it only covers tuition up to 15 credit hours/semester, not including fees

==== TEXAS ====

Texas State University
Application Deadline: Not published
Award: Full Tuition up to 15 credits/semester ($8,000/year + OOS tuition waiver)
Requirements: Top 25% Rank or IB Diploma, 32 ACT or 1400 SAT (CR+M)

University of Alabama-Birmingham
OOS: http://www.uab.edu/students/paying-for-college/scholarships/act-gpa-based-scholarships-out-of-state
IS:http://www.uab.edu/students/paying-for-college/scholarships/act-gpa-based-scholarships-alabama-residents

Seems to me the highest OOS award is $15K and OOS tuition is $23k so they no longer offer full tuition, not instate either.

**So should be removed from this list. **
