<p>OU’s scholarship is $98,000 and the tuition waivers are good for 5 years, including graduate school. That does leave about $8,000 per year in expenses.</p>
<p>From my son’s letter:
OU guarantees a scholarship package valued at $98,000 to all National Merit Finalists who name OU as their college choice by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation deadline as of April 30, 2013. Although you won’t know about your status until February, 90% of Semifinalists advance to Finalist standing. </p>
