I have a great friend who is a single mom. Her son was accepted and given a large merit scholarship to OU. He did not apply to any additional schools other than Texas Tech and Baylor since he was accepted to OU. He placed his deposit down, accepted the scholarship, went to an accepted student merit dinner, etc etc. They decided to rescind the scholarship with no email, no letter.....no contact. She was looking on line about the honors dorm and noticed the amount of scholarship changed to a simple one-time amount of $3,000. (probably because he was not a finalist but the award was after they made the decision so she did not realize) She can only pay for one year of college for her son and makes just enough to be ineligible for a large amount in FAFSA aid. Does anyone know of schools that give merit aid for being a semi-finalist other than Baylor (which is still more than she can afford)? His stats are as follows:
Top 1/3 Unweighted 3.4
2200 SAT
239 PSAT
NMSF
Science Bowl
Football 2 years
wants to major in Geology
Any advice would be great.
