Common questions
How many colleges guarantee out-of-state merit money at a 1100 SAT?
16 colleges guarantee an award automatically to out-of-state students at an SAT of 1100, when the student also meets the award's other published conditions. 33 more consider out-of-state students automatically, with amounts that are not guaranteed.

Many colleges publish separate grids by residency, and out-of-state grids are often the most generous because they offset higher nonresident tuition. This page counts only awards whose published residency includes out-of-state students.
Where do these amounts come from?
Every figure is taken from the college's own published merit page and was verified on 2026-11-02. Always confirm on the official source before applying.
