Does ucf stack the knights achievement scholarship with the Pegasus scholarship or do you just receive one or the other?

@Artful4art It’s just one or the other

Congrats Sweetblasphemy! My baby girl has similar states, but is out of state and not IB. Giving me hope!

Bad test scores but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Feel like I should hear something soon. Its been two weeks.

Good luck to all of you!

Just curious if anyone has received news of a scholarship in the last two weeks?

My DD found out this week that she was awarded the Provost scholarship. It appeared in her portal. Nothing in the mail yet.

Where on the portal did you see the award?

@cnrsmom I also saw my DS Provost scholarship in the portal today. Not sure when it showed up. I found it listed on the right side of the “student center” page, under “to do list”. Have not received anything in the mail yet.

Congrats on those getting Provost! If you don’t mind me asking, what are your stats? I ask because I just received the Pegasus Gold which, while I am thankful to receive anything, I am disappointed as I thought that I would get the Provost with a 34 ACT and 4.5 GPA.

Just wondering if only students that have been accepted to the Honors College are receiving scholarships?

My DS was accepted last month and we have heard nothing on scholarship offers. He hasn’t submitted his Honors College app yet. I’m curious because he received a 30K scholarship offer to USF already and judging by the other offers in this thread, I half expected an offer of some sort by now. He is top 10%, GPA of 6+, 1540 SAT. Of course, this is the first time we are going through this so I’m not sure what to expect. Just sharing for perspective.

Also, on a side note, does anyone know the tiers of scholarships UCF offers? They don’t reveal much about the range of scholarship money they give out on their website.

@FLtitan1217 Pegasus gold is only $14K and it’s one level under provost

in the “to do”…she received a letter in the mail this week confirming. She had to do online and extend the acceptance date for the award to 5/1. She’s still waiting on other acceptances before she decides.
