Auburn Feb 10 Scholarship Deadline

What exactly does final consideration mean? Their website says to apply by “February 10 to receive final consideration for available Freshman Scholarships”
I put my application in today (Feb 7), does this mean I probably won’t get a scholarship, or may not get the full amount I would qualify for? I would qualify for the Founders Scholarship which is $8000 a year.

If it is one of the standard freshman sholarships based on stats (SAT/ACT/GPA) then you are likely fine. I think* they use the word consideration so they can not offer the scholarship if something out of the ordinary happens…you will likely get your full amount. But call/email the scholarship office for confirmation.
