<p>You could toss them in there as well, but they would be a middle ground, as, while they have relatively cheap OOS tuition, I don’t believe they offer big merit money (while UA offers full-tuition+ to NMF, which the OP indicates they’ll get). NMTech does have some money for NMF/NMSF, though, and could be worth looking in to for someone who wants a smaller tech school.</p>
