<p>Does a full ride include tuition, housing, supplies, etc.? If it does that’s great! 
I was really worried that it would be difficult to get money for college, since I’ve been hearing these horrible stories about huge student loans and stress because of debt and such to pay for college. </p>
<p>Also, what are merit scholarships and where can I apply for them?</p>
<p>I went to my counselor once about scholarships, but she said that I could only apply when I was a senior so I don’t know where else to look.</p>
