SCHOLARSHIP LISTS

Here's Every College That Offers 100% Financial Aid. This is mostly need-based aid, so is most helpful for low-income, high-achieving students (top 10% of the class). The definition of low-income can vary, but a good rule of thumb would be < $60,000/year. If you are a junior and fall into this category, please let me know. There are some programs you should know about.

This is a list of colleges with full ride scholarships based on MERIT. This is the list if you are in the top 10% of the class. Especially if there is financial need.

NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP SEARCHES

These are national scholarship searches. Inclusion in this list does not indicate endorsement. Remember to file your FAFSA, and never pay for a scholarship or scholarship search!
