Possible merit scholarships?

Getting into some of these schools … even as a top student… can be difficult. Getting merit to these schools… adds another layer. I would pick 3 of these hyper competitive awards, and then choose some that are a little “easier.”

Remember… getting $10,000 may not be that hard. Full tuition/full ride ( what you are seeking)… often requires going down in selectivity, even for top students. That being said… you won’t know unless you try. Good luck!
