If you're eligible for scholarships and seek them out. I got 1500 for writing a dumb 2 paragraph essay. I had centennial at the time so it got paid out as a check so used it for fees instead. This was also 10+ years ago though

This is something I definitely plan on doing, I am going to be extremely diligent and on top of it in regards to applying for as many scholarships as I can.

What is ‘centennial’?

The centennial is a scholarship for RI kids (or was) that could get you up to full tuition , but I don't think that is possible here as I got offered it in high-school and think it was a one time offer, I made the dumb mistake of going somewhere else and taking out a bunch of loans that took 10 years to pay off

My roommate had a centennial scholarship and she was from CT. That said, I graduated in 2005.

Ah. Thanks for that info!

I’m asking bc my kid is in HS and looking at options for college right now. URI is the default if she 1) doesn’t get into a ridiculously good school (Stanford, Brown, etc) and 2) can’t find a different school that will cost a similar amount to URI.

A full-tuition scholarship would certainly tip the scales toward URI….
