<p>It was suggested that I repost this in the Parents’ Forum…just in case the info about this financial safety information is needed by someone…<br>

<p>**UAHuntsville is still awarding merit to incoming frosh…including int’ls.

<p>If someone out there with strong stats (ACT 31+ or 1360 SAT equivalent) has realized that they don’t have a financial safety or affordable school, then I would suggest sending a quick app to UA Huntsville. The school is strong in STEM, pre-health professional, nursing, and business majors. </p>
<p>Someone with an ACT 31 or 1360 SAT (M+CR) with a 3.0+ GPA gets ** FREE tuition PLUS $500 towards course fees! ** Remaining costs would be quite low…about $10k for room, board, books.</p>
<p>If you have an ACT 34 or SAT 1490, then you get **a free ride **as long as you have at least a 3.0 GPA…excellent deal! Tuition up to 32 hours (16 per semester), housing, $500 in course fees, book stipend, and meal plan!</p>
<p>If you look at the first link, there are full tuition and full ride scholarships for high stats. </p>
<p>For those with less than an ACT 31, the amount in the grid is DOUBLED if you’re out of state. For instance…if you only have a 1290 SAT or 29 ACT, then you’d get $6k per year which brings OOS tuition down to about $13k…Still a good deal for int’ls who don’t have instate price options.</p>
<p>Huntsville is NOT a “southern city”…believe me, I live here. The area is saturated with high-tech transplants from all over the country. The city has one of the highest concentration of PhDs in the nation. I think it was named one of “America’s Geekiest Cities”…lol… because of its “ridiculous number of rocket scientists, engineers and mathematicians” …but don’t let that scare you. </p>

<p>I know that the grads at this school do get jobs…well paid jobs. </p>
<p>The university is located within Cummings Research Park…the second largest research park in the nation…so lots of internship, co-ops, and research opps.

I meant the second one up from the bottom (the waaytv one). Maybe an article about the geekiest region?</p>
