Looking for schools with best merit scholarships for me. [4.0 UW, 33 ACT, top 2%, poli sci]

And this at Troy. Don’t miss deadlines.

Have you considered ROTC?

ROTC scholarships are competitive to get, and are not necessarily full rides.

Also, a student considering ROTC needs to have being an officer in the US military as a career goal, and must be generally eligible for US military service (70+% of young people in the US are not eligible based on current US military recruiting standards).

I am not eligible due to an immune deficiency, I have looked into it.

University of Kentucky - It’s a competitive scholarship -

Otis A. Singletary Competitive 3.80 & 33 ACT/1450 SAT 4.00 Full out-of-state tuition + housing stipend**

Here’s others to look at - as you said you’re open geographically. This is in addition to those above. These are all competitive but very good schools - and I definitely encourage you to apply to W&L and the Johnson and Dallas scholarships - it’s one of the top Poli Sci programs in the country.

Wofford College | Richardson Family Scholarship

McDermott Scholars: About the Award - Office of the Provost | UTD

Overview & Benefits - Levine Scholars Program

About - Park Scholarships

Scholarships | Hendrix College

Alfond Scholars Program

Are you a college counselor? You’ve got a breath of knowledge like no other!

No - but thanks - I think :slight_smile:

Just someone wanting to help and all this interests me.

I got these from a list - and then looked to make sure they are still there. These are from schools that might be a bit easier.

In OPs case, they can go to N Texas free and live home - and they think they can go to Nebraska or Ole Miss free…I’m not so sure…and I think they can go to Troy free but it may not be automatic.

But once they get a freebie, then the student is outstanding and can apply to others, like these.

I’m not sure why the student would chase small ones - given their situation, other than for spending money.

Hoping it works out for them.

U New Mexico - Regent’s Scholarship covers OOS tuition, room but not board. Your test score is way above their SAT range. I’d think it’s worth the application fee.
