[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]*good students saved more money by getting full rides at same state school.[/quote]

Who got the full ride other than under represented minority students? They are rare. [/quote]

DP.

Obviously "good" is a vague and subjective standard.

UMD offers 150 (2.4% if entering class, 0.25% of  MD HS graduates) Banneker/Key full rides (tuition , room, board, minus some taxes).

That's approximately the same number as how many MD students attend each specific Ivy League school (like Harvard) each year.

There is also a secret number of Presidential scholarships that pay variable up to approximately in-state tuition+books.

If you set a goal of "save 1 year of tuition", you only need a 25% ride..

But if you set a goal of "cover 1 year of career earnings", you need at least a full ride. 
Some non-wealthy students can assemble a full ride from mix of partial merit discounts and need-based subsidies.

There's also this helpful resource for Freshman Scholarships :roll:
