automatic scholarships

@uwalummom They seem to have different qualifications for different states. I would call or email the admissions office and ask for information for your state.

As an example, here are links to scholarship qualifications for Nebraska and Indiana residents, and the requirements are nearly the same as those for my state (Wisconsin). These pdfs might not be up to date, but will give you a good idea of what to expect. ($22,000-32,000 seems to be the current range for awards in many states.)

Regarding RAI, yes, the requirements are the same for OOS students.
