Free School!
New York
Have you heard? You can get a free college education in New York. Some restrictions apply, and one of them is being a New York resident. It sounds like it is a fairly easy process; you basically have to ask for residency from the college of your choice through an application process. Review the Financial Student Affairs policy to get full details (Section II. A.)
Gettysburg College
With help from a generous grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Gettysburg College is offering a STEM scholarship program for students interested in STEM fields (Biology, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics). STEM Scholars will have their full demonstrated financial need met for all four years with no loans, and have the opportunity to:
Attend a STEM-focused pre-orientation workshop with other STEM Scholars.
Enroll in an exclusive First-Year Seminar taught by STEM faculty.
Participate in bi-monthly luncheons with STEM faculty and a variety of learning activities on and off campus.
Take advantage of various STEM offerings, including faculty-student research, peer-mentoring, preferential residence in Gettysburg College's Science House, and internship opportunities with industrial partners.
Brown University
Brown University offers need-blind admission, meaning that students are accepted regardless of their financial status, and students found to have financial need will receive loan-free tuition adjustments.
"Having achieved an initial fundraising milestone, the University will replace loans with scholarship funds in financial aid awards, building on need-blind admissions and other initiatives to make a Brown education more accessible."
Texas A&M University
The Brockman Scholars Foundation invites applications for a merit-based full scholarship that covers five years of study on the College Station campus of Texas A&M University.
The scholarship supports four years of undergraduate studies in an approved program of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) as well as the one-year MS Business graduate degree at Texas A&M's Mays Business School.
The Brockman Scholarship covers tuition fees in full, room and board, transportation, books and supplies, an overseas study opportunity, and internship opportunities.
