<p>I just got some email saying that my UT application has been started but not submitted yet. It says that you have to complete "through page 8" and submit it to be considered for scholarship priority. However, we just had a long discussion a few threads ago about how you only have to complete to page 3 to submit your scholarship app. Is that to submit it or just to access it? If so, I'm pretty much really screwed because the deadline is 3 days away and I haven't gotten my letter of recommendation or transcript or anything.</p>

<p>Does anybody know?</p>

<p>I think it's probably talking about completing your scholarship app. to page 8...?</p>

<p>"Our records indicate that you have started a UT-Austin Freshman Scholarship Application for the 2007-2008 year; however, as of yesterday you have not completed and submitted this application. Your application must be completed through page 8 AND submitted via one final step. The UT-Austin Freshman Scholarship deadline is December 1, 2006. Your application must be received by this deadline in order to receive priority consideration for scholarships." </p>

<p>This was the email I got from the UT-Financial Aid office.</p>

<p>Yeah they're talking about the scholarship application.
I got the same e-mail.
Read it again.
It doesn't mention the regular application anywhere.</p>

<p>"you have not completed and submitted this application"</p>

<p>Oh, I just received the same email as well.</p>

<p>Well, I don't have teacher recs. and stuff ready either. Why is this process so confusing? This sucks.</p>

<p>I'm sorry I don't have anything helpful to say, lol.</p>

<p>P.S. ohh miss zanna: I like your location Dubya comment, haha. I'm in Houston as well. :)</p>

<p>Ok phew.</p>

<p>Does anybody else find that they don't qualify for very many scholarships?</p>

<p>I am kind of looking for one that's like "OK, you can apply for this scholarship if you attend (my high school), if you sit in the 4th row of your 8th period calculus class, if you have size 8 feet, if you were born in the summer, if you like the color turquoise, and if you watch Grey's Anatomy." </p>

<p>OK, maybe not that excessive in the requirements...but still. Middle school specific scholarships? What is THAT all about?</p>

<p>teehee yeah I think I only qualified for two of the general ones.</p>

<p>What's the point of applying for scholarships though?!?!</p>

<p>I heard that they usually don't give any/much at all.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the average amount they give away?</p>

<p>If I had to guess I would say like $100. Renewable if you stay at UT for more than 16 years. </p>

<p>Kidding.
Well, sort of.</p>
