<p>It seems like the best way to get scholarships at UT is to major in engineering. Cockrell gives about 7.8 million a year to about 5,000 or so, and compare that to Natural Sciences that gives out $191,000. I would love to go to UT and might major in chemical engineering.</p>
<p>Where is this data coming from? I'm just curious.</p>
<p>I'm a finalist for two scholarships, one $10k a year from Texas Exes, and one $13k a year, from Liberal Arts Honors and Plan II Honors.</p>
<p>I'm a Liberal Arts major. How much money does COLA give?</p>
<p>and how much does McCombs give out per year?</p>
<p>Yeah, engineering kids get a lot of money.</p>
<p>Does that 5,000 number include grad students, TAs, and such? Because otherwise I don't think there are 5000 people in the COE.</p>
<p>I've heard that Geosciences gives a whole lot of money too</p>
<p>Its true just go to the engineering website under facts and numbers, and state of the school. There is apparently tons of money in engineering.</p>
<p>I am not sure how much Dean's Scholars offers in the College of Natural Sciences. The College of Liberal Arts Dedman Scholarships are generous.

AUSTIN, Texas -June 3, 2008- The College of Liberal Arts has honored six students with a Dedman Distinguished Scholarship, which provides $13,000 per academic year for four years, as well as supplemental funding for study abroad programs.
The award is based on class rank, Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, exemplary extracurricular activities, community service and an interview.</p>
<p>The Dedman Scholars for the Class of 2012 are: </p>
<ul>
<li>John Russell Beaumont - Albuquerque High School, Albuquerque, N.M.</li>
<li>Christopher M. Burge - Jesuit College Preparatory School, Dallas</li>
<li>Anjali Datta - Grapevine High School, Grapevine</li>
<li>Grace Anne Jamail - Westlake High School, Austin</li>
<li>Lindsey Smith - High School for Performing and Visual Arts, Houston</li>
<li>Hannah R. Weissgarber - Smithson Valley High School, Spring Branch</li>
</ul>
<p>The College of Liberal Arts selection committee hosted 15 high school seniors who applied to the Plan II and Liberal Arts Honors Programs in March. The finalists attended classes, had lunch with faculty and administrators, met with Executive Vice-President and Provost Steven Leslie, toured exhibits at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center and had dinner with faculty, alumni and current Dedman and Ex-students' Scholars. </p>
<p>"These students represent the best and brightest of their peers," said Larry Carver, director of the Liberal Arts Honors Program. "They will contribute greatly to our community during the next four years and beyond."</p>
<p>The Dedman Distinguished Scholarship honors Robert and Nancy Dedman of Dallas whose $10 million endowment funds the scholarships. To date, their gift has supported 123 Dedman scholars. Although the scholarships are based on merit rather than need, most of the applicants are from middle- to low-income families.</p>
<p>Haha I wonder who that Jesuit kid is?</p>
<p>And yes, the Dedman scholarship is amazing, however it's important to remember that those are the ONLY scholarships that COLA gives to incoming freshmen. That's it. 5-6 Dedman scholarships, and the other 2000 or so freshmen get nothing from the college.</p>
<p>The scholarship app doesn't even come in to play there. All students who apply to Plan II and LAH are considered, and only those students are considered. You don't have to remain in those honors programs, but you do have to remain in the college of Liberal Arts. So if you were interested, you could do a double major.</p>
<p>imo, the easiest way to get scholarships through the colleges is by having many hours and high GPA. i received several scholarships from the CSE and COFA pretty much only because i had a crap load of AP credits and maintained a decent GPA. i don't really have many other ECs or any significant achievements that in themselves would merit scholarship.</p>
<p>just a random qs.....
Is it true that the higher SAT score u get, the more scholorship?</p>
<p>Generally speaking yes, there is variability but to maximize your chances to get scholarships then the higher the better.</p>
<p>At UT, scholarship funds are quite limited. A high SAT score is almost mandatory to receive a scholarship, but certainly won't guarantee you one.</p>
<p>There are kids with 2300+ SAT scores at UT who receive no scholarship money at all.</p>
