Fordham no longer earmarks the full-tuition scholarship for National Merit students. Now any excellent student is in the running for Fordham’s full-tuition scholarships (and there are even some true full ride scholarships with tuition, room, board, fees and a stipend.)
No guarantees of course, but this student is strong and I imagine she would be considered. Fordham just got a $100 million donation to expand STEM, so this student might be especially attractive to them.
