@4kids2graduate - my son was interested in Auburn as well. We toured the school and looked at their scholarship information. A huge concern was that none of their scholarships covered tuition 100%. It didn’t matter if your son/daughter was a NMF or got a 36 on the ACT. And the even bigger concern was that the scholarship amount was a flat amount. So when tuition goes up (which it does every year) you were responsible for the difference. We were also told that the OOS scholarships were not guaranteed. It is competitive but so far they have always been able to give the scholarships to all the OOS students. My son is a NMF. He chose Alabama and will be a freshman in the fall. He gets 5 years of tuition (if tuition goes up the scholarship will cover it), $3500/year stipend for 4 years, 1 year of housing, $2000 to study abroad, and a choice of either an ipad, Macbook Air, or a Dell Venue tablet. It was a no brainer. We just got our fall bill. It was under $1000. ROLL TIDE!!!
