The symbol * denotes a merit scholarship that requires a separate application and/or a scholarship that requires an interview as part of the selection process. Whilst any kind of merit scholarship will be competitive, with the majority of the time just how competitive depending on the overall selectivity of the school, scholarships with a separate application process and/or interview stage will be, as one can probably guess, mostly extremely extremely competitive.
The direct cost is the total amount of tuition, room, board, and any required fees. Optional fees (such as parking passes), transportation, miscellaneous costs (such as toiletries), and health insurance are not included as these costs can often vary person to person and can be tailored to an individual’s budget (though at some schools, health insurance is a set cost).
A full ride scholarship is a scholarship that covers the entire direct cost of a college: tuition, fees, room, and board. Some full ride scholarships may include stipends for things like study abroad, research and/or a stipend for miscellaneous living costs - it varies school to school.
As the name would suggest, a full tuition scholarship is a scholarship that covers the entire cost of tuition; living expenses (including room and board and other indirect costs such as transport) are not included.
