<p>A friend of mine told me her daughter received $12,000 scholarships from both the University of Puget Sound and the University of Denver without asking. Her stats were around a 1300 Sat and a 3.8 gpa. Anyone with similar stories?</p>

<p>My son got an automatic tuition scholarship (in-state amt) from Ohio University because of his stats. (high GPA, high SAT, very high ACT). For decent stats, DU will usually come through with about a one-third ride. I’ve heard that it’s very difficult to get more than that from them, but I did know a girl from our HS that turned down a full scholarship from DU (musical - some instrument they really needed that year).</p>
