My son was a NMF and Alabama offered him a full ride. LSU offered him $2000 on top of TOPS

I'm guessing your son is a white male. States don't give in-state money to white males. Texas native here. I lost out on scholarship $ to UT-Austin to minority students ranked lower than me from the same school, same graduating class. LSU gave me $32k (1990's). Schools like LSU and Bama recruit and want out of state students--it makes their enrollment look more diverse. Hence, that's why Bama ponied up the $ and LSU didn't.
