<p>These are all schools that I am considering for their journalism programs. I would of course welcome advice on any of these schools, but I really need responses to the topic. I just want to know if an 1100 is good enough for academic scholarships at any of these schools. Thank you all.</p>
<p>Not at Syracuse, NYU or American. don't know about the others</p>
<p>Check their web sites in the financial aid and scholarship sections. You also can e-mail their financial aid office, tell them about yourself (race, scores, gpa, achievements, proposed major, and estimated financial need) and ask them for info about what you might qualify for. </p>
<p>I think that NYU and UNC-CH are such reaches that I doubt that you'd get in (unless perhaps you-re instate and can get into UNC-CH). NYU is very stingy with $, and typically gaps applicants, leaving them with as much or more than $10,000 less than what their need is and what NYU gives them. </p>
<p>Syracuse offers some scholarships for minority students plus has need-based aid. Their journalism school is, however, difficult to gain entry into. It is a very good school -- if you can get in. </p>
<p>Bowie State does not have a good journalism program, and I suggest that if you are serious about journalism, try to get into a place like American U or Howard.</p>
<p>I don't think your scores are high enough to get merit aid at Howard. I think you'd probably need to make National Achievement Scholar plus have at least a 1200 for merit scholarship consideration.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's sorta what I was thinkin about UNC, NYU and Syrie..</p>
<p>What is your GPA?
You might look into Indiana U at Bloomington for journalism.</p>
<p>My parents won't let me go to Bloomington cus of travel expenses.
3.4 GPA</p>
<p>Well with UNC, it's going to be a reach to get in if you're out of state, same with GSU. Unless you are a National Achievement Finalist or scored a 1500 or higher, then you won't get a full ride to Howard. And i'm not quite sure about Clark Atalanta but you can def get in. As for the rest of teh schools, I'm seriously doubting you'll get a full ride or get in.</p>
<p>Against the totality of the expenses of four years of college, travel expenses are a proverbial drop in the bucket. Imo, your parents are being penny wise and pound foolish; without telling them so, I would suggest they re-examine this question.</p>
<p>Sorry, but unless you are a NC resident, you have little chance of even getting accepted at UNC. It's easier to get into Duke from OOS, than Chapel Hill. My niece had significantly better stats, was a state resident, went to a top Charlotte HS, and was turned down. She finally transferred in. Even then, she didn't get money until second year.</p>
<p>You're apparently from the South. If you're from Georgia and have a HS 3.0, you've got a full ride at Georgia or Georgia State.</p>
<p>You have a good chance of getting some merit money at Howard and Clark Atlanta with your stats but probably not a full ride. Here's the link for Howard - looks like you might be in the running for one of their Legacy Scholarships, but you will need to check with them directly about the actual criteria: <a href="http://www.howard.edu/financialaid/scholarships/freshmen.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.howard.edu/financialaid/scholarships/freshmen.htm</a>
Some of these schools might offer scholarships for special talents as well - you will have to do your research to see if you might qualify for any of them. And, in most cases, "talent" awards aren't full rides.</p>
<p>I assume that you do not think you will qualify for need-based financial aid? Before making that assumption, I would complete the FAFSA with your parents to see where you might stand in terms of financial aid. The answer may surprise you and you may come very close to a "full ride" through loans, grants, and work study from the various schools. If you're an out of state student, however, you will not likely receive much from the publics on your list.</p>
