SMU’s aid works a lot better (was easier to attain) than AU’s aid.
The FD scholarship requires multiple essays and interviews, is unbelievably competitive, and is given to a very small number of students. The SMU aid (for us) involved no additional essays and while not a full ride, was substantial enough to be affordable for me.
I think the OP should research AU and the FDS. His stats would make him competitive for it.
