FAMU and Scholarships Posted on 05-18-2005

Ok i need help. I was on FAMU's web site looking at scholarships and the ones that were for full tuition were only for the National Merit and National Acheivement people. Do they give full rides to people other than them? Will i get a lot of money. My status: I am a junior, so far i have a **** GPA of 3.3 (junior year i have had a 3.6 the whole year), My school is a great school and is very high on the academics level; I take a lot of advanced classes. It was named number 48 on NEWSWEEKS list of best schools in the country. so i take harder classes than most people and that is why my GPA is so low. Will they look at my class selection and take that into consideration? Also i got a 24 on my ACT which i think is bad and i haven't taken my SAT yet. So if i do better on my ACT next time and do goos on my SAT's will i get a good amount of money? I want to do the 5 year MBA program.

Research other scholarship sources. The following link provides info on a book written by a FAMU grad on how she received over $400,000 in scholarship money: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0805075216/qid=1116439965/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/002-1718315-1032864?v=glance&s=books Here's another great book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0375763066/qid=1116440340/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/002-1718315-1032864?v=glance&s=books
