Hey guys, I'm exploring colleges outside my home state, but I'm worried about tuition costs. Could anyone suggest colleges known for providing good scholarships to out-of-state students?
Absolutely, there are several colleges which are known to generously award scholarships to out-of-state students.
1. University of Alabama: Known for its automatic scholarships, the University provides these based on the student's GPA and ACT/SAT scores. Students with a 3.5 GPA and a score of 32 on the ACT or 1420 on the SAT could receive a full tuition scholarship, for example.
2. University of South Florida: The university offers a number of scholarships exclusively for out-of-state students. One example is the Freshmen Presidential Award, which provides $48,000 over four years.
3. University of Cincinnati: They have various scholarships programs that out-of-state students can qualify for. The Cincinnatus Scholarship Competition is one such program, awarding from partial to full tuition scholarships.
4. University of Oklahoma: Their Sooner Commitment program covers full tuition for out-of-state students from families making under $60,000 yearly.
5. University of Arkansas: The prestigious Chancellor's Scholarship provides out-of-state students with $8,000 per year for four years.
6. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: They offer the Morehead-Cain Scholarship which fully funds the education of out-of-state students who have demonstrated leadership, character, scholarship, and physical vigor.
Keep in mind that these are just a few examples. Each of these schools has various scholarship opportunities available to out-of-state students.
