Which colleges award merit money to out-of-state applicants?
Out-of-state tuition at a public university often runs two to three times the in-state figure. Merit money is what closes that gap, and a number of these schools price it deliberately to recruit from other states.
371 schools publish an automatic award that out-of-state applicants are eligible for. The column below is the largest annual award at each, and the median is $12,000.
Residency rules are worth reading early. Some states let you establish residency after a year; many specifically do not count years spent here on a scholarship.

Amounts are what each school publishes for incoming first-year students, and renewal usually depends on keeping a minimum GPA. Confirm figures with the school's financial aid office before you plan around them.
