DS is interested in UF for engineering. Benquisto seems too good to be true. Could someone pinch me? A free top 50 engineering program? What are the downsides?
None. The UF is THE highest rated college offering a full ride for National Merit students. The Benacquisto is an amazing opportunity.
pinch Nope, you’re awake. Looks good from here.
Just make sure you read the small print about the hours requirements (some debate on how dropping classes might endanger it) and GPA to keep it.
None really, but in addition to the comment about keeping the required hours, some are worried that the Fla Legislature will defund or drop the program if it becomes too costly. FSU guarantees to its Benacquisto recipients that the school will pick up the scholarship if the State drops the program while the student is attending FSU. You should ask UF if they do the same.
