National Merit Full Scholarship at Fordham?

Fordham’s is not a “full ride” scholarship as in total COA. They do have a scholarship for NMF that is full tuition but it is not a guarantee … there are some stipulations including IIRC being in top 10% of admittance class. Now how they determine what is considered top 10% … well, they do not disclose that. If one receives that top scholarship, one would be left with about $18-20K a year in R&B, Books, etc.

There are fewer and fewer schools that offer full COA for NMF. You would need to be looking at schools like the Florida state system, University of Alabama, some of the UTexas system (not Austin) …

My daughter is NMSF as well, 1540 SAT / 35 ACT with a 4.61 wGPA … applied to Fordham with hopes of that top scholarship as well … but has also applied to schools with total COA automatic for NMF
