@GMT7. or be smart AND recruited athlete. Last year a local kid went to a 2nd tier D1 school. In his sport the athletic scholarships only cover half of costs, but he got an automatic merit for stats scholarship that covers the other half.

Nothing is really guaranteed unless student holds up his end of the bargain. Athletes whose injuries don’t resolve in a timely fashion and merit scholars who don’t keep the GPA up to stipulated level lose the money.

Academic free rides often include perks like an ipad, study abroad money, research money, book money, annual stipend etc. UHouston called the other day offering S one like that. Tuition/fees/rm/bd plus research money and study abroad. No plane rides or clothes though. Any NMF can have it automatically and he said they do not limit the number of awards.Not sure what they would do if suddenly they had 500 kids take them up on the offer. S has 2 full rides as back-ups- UKentucky and UCFlorida. Both are for NMF. And Bama, which is full ride the first year, but after that pays enough for the room but not board part. I guess those are rare since there are only 15,000 kids who can choose to take advantage of them.
