Merit Scholarships for Out-of-State Students
Every published automatic merit award in our verified dataset that a nonresident can receive — 83 colleges with guaranteed awards, 201 more with automatic consideration (amounts not guaranteed), each with its residency terms printed on the row.
Out-of-state sticker prices are the highest numbers in college admissions, and published nonresident merit grids are the most direct way families cut them: no committee, no separate competition — meet the printed GPA and score criteria and the published award applies. Guaranteed awards and consideration awards are kept in separate tables below, because only one of the two is money you can budget on.
Guaranteed automatic awards
Each award below is labelled guaranteed automatic because the college's own page explicitly says the award is automatic for students who meet the published criteria. Amounts are exact published figures. The award shown is the top published award at this college that the band on this page reaches — its remaining conditions (GPA, residency, deadlines) are on its row.

They are listed separately, with the condition on each row, and are not counted in any ranking or total above.

Common questions
Why do public universities offer merit money to out-of-state students?
Nonresident tuition runs well above resident tuition, and published merit awards are how many public universities compete for strong students from other states: the award closes part — sometimes most — of the nonresident premium. The grids are printed precisely so families can do this math before applying.
Are private colleges included?
Yes, where their published award is open to students regardless of residency (shown as "both" in the residency column). Private colleges charge one price for everyone, so their automatic awards work the same way for a nonresident.
How do I compare an out-of-state award against staying in state?
Compare what is left, not the headline award: each college page shows the college's published cost of attendance for residents and nonresidents next to its awards, and the calculator can rank your matches by estimated remaining cost (the estimate is always labelled; the award figures are exact published amounts).

Put a number on your student's merit money
The calculator matches your student's GPA and scores to every published automatic award in our verified dataset — guaranteed money and consideration money kept separate, every figure sourced. The MeritChart System ($397) then turns the results into a working plan: a list builder, a test-score ROI tool, and a deadline & renewal tracker.
How to read this page: figures come only from the college's own published pages. Class A = guaranteed automatic (the college publishes the promise). Class B = automatic consideration — amount not guaranteed. Every figure links to its official source with a verification date. Full methodology →
