Full ride impossible?

<p>Hi,
This is the question my daughter and I had last year when she was a senior applying to Pepperdine. My daughter applied to 12 colleges and got into all but had her heart set on Pepperdine. She is now a freshmen there and LOVES it! She will be studying in London her sophomore year.
To answer your question, Pepperdine does not really offer full rides unless you are an athlete. However, they do offer some very competitive scholarships and generous grants. My daughter would have been unable to attend without those. Depending on your SAT scores, GPA and essays they can be very generous. If you are Church of Christ affiliated you are also offered generous scholarships. (we are not)
Pepperdine is a wonderful school and everyone that we have come into contact with absolutely love it there. Good luck! :)</p>
