Unless I am missing something, Alabama is definitely her best FA option (full tuition), and maybe, asking for a miracle, maybe Michigan will come through for something as we are in-state. She is/has been competing for competitive merit scholarships at in-state schools (GVSU and CMU) and has guaranteed tuition/partial board at Oakland University. She will hear from her high-reach school (Stanford) in December, as well as the CMU scholarship. She is also applying for additional scholarships at University of Alabama, although UA is in her top-three with Stanford and Michigan. Thank you so much for your insight and input into this thread. The Greek Chat community is a wonderful and invaluable resource and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Any and all suggestions are looked into and I appreciate everyone contributing to this thread.

She isn't a National Merit Finalist or semi-finalist is she? There are several schools that offer big stipends if not full tuition to National Merit Scholars. I know Alabama and Auburn are 2 schools with big Greek life and big NMS money to give; I'm sure there are more all over the country that I didn't look at in my own college search (Georgia is only $500). I only ask because a good ACT score could mean she had a high enough PSAT score.
