Here's how to find full ride scholarships that cover everything: tuition, housing, meals, and sometimes even spending money. Not just for valedictorians with perfect SAT scores. I'll break down the specific places to look and strategies to use that most students never discover because they're only searching in the obvious places. Source number one: University specific merit scholarship programs. State schools offer full ride scholarships to attract top students. University of Alabama's Presidential Scholarship, University of Kentucky's Patterson Scholarship, Arizona State's President's Scholarship. Research every school on your list for their highest merit award. And if you're going to a college, make sure to go to their financial aid website and see if they have any scholarships that are currently open. Source number two: Niche scholarship sites. Don't use the super popular generic ones that everyone uses and don't apply to the no-essay ones. Instead, use a tool like findmescholarships.com where all you do is upload your common app or resume and it sends you a weekly list of personalized scholarships for you.
