This is a list of schools with (some type of) full scholarship programs that offer majors in science and engineering. The programs vary from school to school, so see the individual school for the details.

I'm sure this list isn't complete. These are just the schools I've come across from a couple different lists. I haven't included religious institutions. I'm sure you could find out about those through your religious organization. I also haven't included the military universities. You can google those.

You missed Amherst College. There's probably a few others as well, that I can't seem to remember. Tufts and Vanderbilt, I think?

Otherwise, excellent list. Really good work man.
 
Thank you Mépris! I didn't know about those.

Amherst
Income based.

Vanderbilt

Tufts includes loans in their aid packages. They are almost free.

For some reason. I was unable to edit my original post to include these links. Not sure if it's a browser issue, but I don't see the edit/delete post button.
