[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t believe every state school offers full tuition scholarships to national merit finalists.

OP's niece must be assuming she'll be a National Merit finalist since juniors don't know yet whether they're National Merit semi-finalists, much less finalists. The only state flagships that give full scholarships for National Merit Finalists appear to be Alabama, UConn, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, West Va. So it sounds like OP's niece lives in one of these states. Other than CT, becoming a National Merit Semifinalist in these states is not particularly difficult because the bar is so low compared to states like CA, NJ, MD, MA, etc. Or maybe OP's niece assumes she'll be a National Merit finalist because she got a perfect score on the PSAT. It's unclear from OP's post.

In any event, there are some other good (although not top 20) schools that give full rides for NMSF, like Fordham. Maybe that would be a good option for OP's niece if she doesn't want her state flagship.[/quote]
