50% OOS tuition waiver

Colleges and Universities A-Z Florida State University

Hey Everyone,
I was reading the other tuition waiver thread and they gave a lot of great information about getting the full tuition waiver but not the partial (50%) waiver. I wanted to know if anyone here has received one or has received in-state tuition. If you guys are comfortable sharing GPA and ACT that would be fantastic!

Just a little about myself
Current senior
ACT:30
GPA:3.3
3 AP/Honors
10 years of soccer
416 hours of volunteer work/community service since

Note: I attend a fairly rigorous school district in the suburbs of Chicago (ipsd 204), does anybody know if the university takes the difficulty of the high school into consideration?

And thanks in advance to everyone!

My daughter received a 50% OOS waiver and she had a 29 ACT. As I understand it, 29 is(was) 50% and 30+ is 100% OOS waiver. Of course past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.

Congrats! Will she be an incoming freshman next fall? We are fro CO and my son is a 5 time legacy and is interested in going but the out of state kills us. Is the tuition waiver based on ACT scores?

I got the 50% waiver with a 3.8 uw GPA and 28 ACT

S got NOTHING with similar stats to you @aaaammy123

6

Really @STEM2017 ? I applied last year (class of 2020) so maybe they changed the criteria

S didn’t get one penny of aid. FSU is no longer an option.

My daughter did not get anything and she had a 31 ACT (she even got summer instead of fall semester). Maybe her 3.65 UW gpa had to do with it?

I would definitely check with the admissions office. They told me that a 3.5 FSU GPA + a 30 ACT got you at least a 50% waiver.

If I recall correctly, FSU recalculates GPA for their admissions and scholarships. They discussed this as part of the admissions presentation, and I think they weight honors and AP differently. If you don’t have this information reply and I might be able to find it. I also had notes on the thresholds for the waivers. My daughter was accepted this fall and received the full waiver (3.96 UW / 4.65 W / 32 ACT composite), difficult north shore high school.

They add .5 for honors and 1.0 for AP. You needed a 3.5 FSU average, with a 1390 rSAT for full OOS waiver and 1360 for 50% waiver.
