Merit scholarships are usually given to applicants that meet or exceed the top 1-5% of applicants in that particular school. You may be pleasantly surprised at the exceptional level of Honors Colleges within universities that may be generally considered as “lower tier”. However, a full ride in an Honors College Program can be both academically challenging, provide valuable internships and alumni connections, as well as providing excellent merit aid, which can be half to full rides. Worth checking out with your fine stats.
