The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #71:

What state universities have honors programs and do they offer merit scholarships?

Answer #71:

The University of Maryland has three levels of honors programs, all accompanied by substantial stipends. The University of Massa- chusetts is turning its honors program into a separate entity, named Commonwealth College. Do not hesitate to apply to private universities. You may get a better stipend there. One of my clients was offered a $7,500 merit scholarship at Occidental (which he had not asked for), renewable yearly. This was probably because he was at the top of the applicant pool. Find the mailing addresses, e-mail addresses or Internet home pages of these and any other schools in the USA and the world through the EDUFAX resource page. I suggest you identify schools first, then do a realistic assessment of your financial capability. EDUFAX provides services for the Collegebound High School Student.
