Earning scholarships for a private university?

Question

Okay, so I want to attend the University of Miami. (The one in Florida.) My mom is not by any means rich. This school is around $50,000 tuition annualy. Bright Futures doesn't pay full for a Private university. Is it possible for me to get a full ride scholarship somehow? Or add up enough scholarships? Please help. I can't talk to my mom about this. I already tried and every time I talk to her she gets mad at me because she thinks i'm leaving her.

Answer 1

study hard of cource

Answer 2

I doubt she's mad at you for leaving her.  She's prob mad at you for wanting to spend 50K on something you can get for free or nearly free with Bright Futures.

You can earn scholarships, but full rides are very tough.  Do you have a perfect or near perfect ACT/SAT score?  Awesome GPA?  If not, consider cheaper options.
