Paying for College

<p>Is there a website listing schools giving large scholarships for National Merit Finalists? If not, how about adding to this one?</p>

<p>Arizona State University

<p>Baylor University

<p>University of Arizona
<a href=“https://financialaid.arizona.edu/scholarships/awards/National_Merit_Finalist_Award.aspx[/url]”>https://financialaid.arizona.edu/scholarships/awards/National_Merit_Finalist_Award.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>University of Oklahoma

<p>University of Houston

<p>This site lists a bunch (I can’t vouch for accuracy):

<p>also, University of Southern California gives automatic half-tuition</p>

<p>I think NMSs can do better by just applying to schools that offer merit aid where they’re at the top of the pool. Many will be better schools than the ones that offer automatic scholarships.</p>
