[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The upside of wanting a kid with good grades who wants to go to a party school is he has a good shot at serious merit money.

[b]The University of Michigan offers full ride scholarships for students from Virginia who major in engineering: https://scholarships.engin.umich.edu/gloria-wille-bell-and-carlos-r-bell-scholarship/[/b]

Iowa State also offers generous merit scholarships to out-of-state students: https://www.admissions.iastate.edu/scholarships/freshman/md

The University of Iowa is very fun party school, popular among Chicagoland residents. Nonstop flights from DC, lots of scholarships for students who can keep a 3.50 G.P.A. amid all that partying: https://clas.uiowa.edu/students/scholarships#Entering%20First-Time%20First-Year [/quote]
It says in that link that 2-5 scholarships per year are awarded and Virginia residents got $20k/year. not sure where you're getting full ride. and this kid probably wouldn't even get into michigan, let alone get a scholarship that is only given to a tiny tiny silver of the incoming class[/quote]

I knew people who got the scholarship. It used to be a full ride.

It's hard to think of this in the highly competitive atmosphere of this area, but there are a lot of state flagships that would be happy to have your kid and their superior academic achievement bringing up the averages. Lots of scholarships that basically give you in-state tuition at the University of Georgia (presidential waiver), etc. Just look outside the colleges like Michigan, Delaware, etc that have a long track record of attracting out of staters.[/quote]
