National Merit Scholarship

Paying for College Financial Aid (Need-Based, Merit Aid, Loans)

<p>MaterMia: Just FYI, University of Oklahoma does not offer a full ride. If you run the math, their scholarship covers about half of all expenses. Their description of the tuition coverage is kind of tricky.</p>

<p>Rrodrig: Your daughter will have tons of options with NMF and a super high SAT. As mentioned, dig around on the boards, especially the Financial Aid / National Merit Finalist section. </p>

<p>Here is a link to full rides that are not related to NMF:

<p>My daughter will be NMF, and I’m hoping she’ll take an NMF deal.</p>

<p>Don’t forget that there are great NMF scholarships, and also great scholarships for high SAT scores. She won’t have any problem getting a full ride or near full ride at a good school.</p>

<p>Final thought: I’m assuming your daughter is a senior. Some schools have deadlines of December 1 for students who are requesting a scholarship. Hurry!</p>
