Below is information I have found on universities that offer free automatic scholarships for certain GPAs and test scores. Look below to see if your scores qualify you for a free education!
Ohio University
Approximate costs:
Tuition: In-state: $9,000; OOS: $18,000;
Other costs(Room/Board/etc): $10,000

The Gateway Award Program: Ohio University Admissions
Details
This is a bit confusing because OU separates the tuition into a state tuition and and OOS supplement. An OOS student pays both. The merit awards are split up that was also.
The portion of the "in-state" amount you get ("Gateway Award") depends on your stats. The OOS portion ("Gateway Trustee Award") is the same ($6000) for all students with a 3.0 GPA and ACT equal to and higher than 25 or SAT equal to or higher than 1130 (Math+CR).
Examples:
1. An OOS student applying with a GPA of 3.6 and an ACT of 32 would get a scholarship for the equiv of full in-state tuition (approx $9,000) and another $6000 for the OOS supplement (Total over 4 years: $60,000 in scholarship money). That would bring the annual tuition cost down to approximately $3,000 per year.
2. An OOS student with an SAT score of 1320 (and a GPA greater than 3.0) would get $2000 towards the in-state part and $6000 towards the OOS part, or $8,000 per year (Total over 4 years: $32,000). That would bring the annual tuition down to about $10,000 per year for OOS.
University of Alabama ( Roll Tide!)
Approximate costs:
Tuition: In-state: $7,000; OOS: $19,000;
Other costs(Room/Board/etc): $12,000
