I've had some difficulty locating schools that offer significant (i.e. half-tuition to full ride) merit scholarships to national merit finalists (the information tends to be buried). If we all pool our resources and post schools at this central location it would benefit us all.

Besides NMS schools, also include particularly generous merit scholarships (like for high SAT or GPA). Be sure to specify what type of scholarship it is.

To start us off...

University of Arizona (NMS, full tuition + awards)
University of Florida (NMS, $9500 a year to outstaters)

University of Houston (NMS, tuition + room/board + $250 for books, NICE deal)
