I believe Fordham does give out full tuition scholarships but very few. My D1 applied last year with high SAT scores, 4.6 weighted gpa and lots of leadership EC’s (she was valedictorian and won the award for most involved student). They gave her a $30,000 scholarship which I understand is very generous for them. I believe the cost of attendance would have been an additional 30,000. The competition is tough for these scholarships and the full tuition ones go the the very top of the applicant pool. Fortunately, she was awarded a university scholarship to Northeastern which was one of her top choices anyway and she is very happy. That scholarship covers full tuition for all four years.
This time with D2 who is a junior in hs I’m doing my research here and checking out the guaranteed merit scholarships and running all of the numbers on the npc. This way there will be no disappointments when decision time comes around.
