<p>McNair scholars receive reduced tuiton (reduced to in-state rates) PLUS an additional $15,000/year. MeKimber is correct in that this may not be a “full ride” but it would come pretty darn close. Depending on dorm, meal plan, and fees it may not cover the entire cost. This year, the cost not covered would be slightly over $2,000/year (based on honors dorm and the 16+ meal plan option.)</p>
<p>It’s impossible to say whether you’d receive the scholarship, as the criteria changes every year based on the applicant pool but I’d guess that you’d qualify for one of the OOS scholarship programs. This would result in an OOS student receiving in-state tuition plus an additional $2,000-$15,000/year.</p>
