Disregard the post I just did above. For some I can't edit it.

The university would need to give you a scholarship $1000 scholarship, not a private scholarship. Also, these aren't just normal university scholarships. The school would specifically give you a $1000 scholarship, and allow you to pay instate tuition. This is normally given by specific colleges within the university. Example, I get into UH. The university gives me a $6,000 scholarship, but the college of may major gives me an additional $1000 scholarship. That $1000 scholarship would let me pay in-state tuition if I was an out-of-state student. Also, from what I understand, UH only canceled their university scholarships for undocumented students. Certain colleges (NSM,business,etc) still give scholarships to undocumented students since being a citizen/PR isn't a requirement as it is for their scholarships.

I don't know your grades/SAT scores, but I would probably cross UH and UT Austin out for route 3. UT Austin is pretty hard to get into even for in state students. UH probably wouldn't offer you a scholarship. I would look into Texas A&M, but it will be tough. Texas is a great place to go to college if you instate. Being undocumented and out-of-state makes it as if you are in North Carolina.
