<p>*I just got a letter from MSU stating I would get 18k + 12K per year if I applied. Plus a 2500 research grant and Professorial Assistant status…seemed like a good deal to me and it must be close to a full ride. *</p>
<p>Cost of attendance is about $43k for non-residents…tuition is $30k. </p>
<p>BTW…do the scholarship amounts increase as tuition and housing increase each year?</p>
<p>Is that for being NMF or for more than NMF? That is a LOT more than the website says it gives for NMFs.</p>
<p>(I don’t know why I didn’t notice the extra paragraphs before…)</p>

<p>From the above, it doesn’t look like full tuition is covered. It looks like just about $4k-$6k is given towards tuition, so I wonder if Dumbitdown is being offered more than just their NMF scholarship.</p>
<p>What exactly did the letter say…does it say cash amounts or value? </p>
<p>The non-resident tuition is $30k per year. Total Cost of Attendance is about $43k per year.</p>
