The Benaquisto is a state-granted scholarship of roughly 17k a year given to National Merit Finalists who attend a university in Florida (covers the COA of a state school: tuition, room, board, misc)
If one were to get a scholarship from U Miami that covered full tuition only, would we be able to use the Benaquisto money for room,board, etc
Essentially what I’m asking is will UMiami stack the scholarships (to cover COA at UM) or use the state money + around 30k of their own money to cover my full tuition.
Were you awarded a national merit scholarship or a corporate scholarship? You have to get the national merit scholarship to get the Benacquisto scholarship. From their FAQs it says that you cannot use it with the school sponsored scholarship
Yeah I will ask them when I get the chance, I’m just busy now and I have school until their office closes basically.

I’m a junior… but I am very likely going to be NMF… all i’d have to do is list UM as my first choice to get a national merit scholarship from the school which would qualify me for benaquisto.
Where do you see that it cannot be used with the school scholarships? Ty.
