How to find universities that offer fully funded scholarships
Finding universities that offer fully funded scholarships is so hard. I've been searching for a while. How do y'all do it?
Most of them you can "find" are merit based, meaning you have to do a whole application (including your transcript, and your awards/honors), answer some short questions in 150 words max, and write a good 600 word max essay.
otherwise, most universites, at least the ones that i know of in VA, will meet at least 80% of demonstrated financial need. so those would be need-based scholarships, which can give your a full ride if your total household income is 75K or lower (that number is a general cutoff line - check with your individual colleges on your college list for their specfic details and criterion)
oh okay thank you so much for the info. Do you by any chance have some universities in mind though? That'll be so helpful
There's a wide number of universities that have this financial aid practice, so which ones that might be good suggestion for you really depends on what type of college your looking for (public/private, in-state/out-of-state, liberal arts/STEM, small campus/large campus, etc). you can use CollegeVine's school search to start looking (collegevine.com/schools/hub/all ), or chat with CollegeVine's AI, Sage for some better suggestions.
