UA Tuscaloosa is full tuition for 5 years, $2500 if the student enrolls in the College of Engineering, and the free iPad.
<<<
that isn’t accurate.
UA covers:
5 years of tuition
1 year of housing…including honors housing
3500 per year stipend
2000 study abroad
iPad
and…if you’re a CS or eng’g major, you get an additional 2500 per year (so 6000 total stipend)
Not a full ride, but covers a lot. The first year, if you’re an eng’g student, it does cover everything…
Regarding Oklahoma (or any of the other schools that may change their awards): Anyone know when the new scholarships for 2015-2016 get announced/finalized? Is it in the Fall like September or October?
How can u say no to the free ipad?
@artie1 I can’t say exactly when the current Oklahoma scholarship got announced but at least it does very clearly state that it is for the students “Entering in Fall 2015” at the top of the pdf detailing the scholarship on the website. I’m pretty sure it has said this since the first part of November but I don’t know about earlier than that. I didn’t see any such stipulation in the description of Alabama’s NMF package on their website.
I do think these are set in the summer before the new crop of NMSF are announced in September, so I would think you could call the respective scholarship offices by mid-September and get the up-to-date information.
In fact, I just noticed that the small gray print at the bottom of the Oklahoma scholarship pdf says “Updated 8/14”
I was thinking between late July early August so 8/14 sounds right.
