<p>Has anyone heard about the Chancellor's Nominee Scholarship (the lower scholarship than the full tuition scholarship)?</p>
<p>I believe the Chancellors is the highest available - Full ride basically.</p>
<p>The Chancellor’s scholarship is the full scholarship, and the Chancellor’s nominee Scholarship is the $2000 to $12000 scholarship, I believe.</p>
<p>I see now - the Chancellor’s Nominee Scholarships are given to those invited to apply for the Chancellors Scholarship. In my sons materials last year they never called it Chancellor’s Nomnee.</p>
<p>What is the difference between a “Chancellor’s Nominee Scholarship” and a “Chancellor’s Scholarship?”
Chancellor’s Nominee Scholarships are awarded by the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid and are scholarships ranging from $2,000 per year up to full tuition. They are awarded to students based on their academic accomplishments in high school and standardized test scores. All Chancellor’s Nominees are mailed a Chancellor’s Scholarship application in late fall through winter, depending upon when they submitted their application for admission. From the Chancellor’s Nominees, the University Honors College (UHC) will select approximately 12 Chancellor’s Scholars each year. The Chancellor’s Scholarship provides full tuition, room, and board for four years and supercedes the Chancellor’s Nominee Scholarship and any other University-sponsored scholarships."</p>
<p>DD’s full tuition scholarship was called an honors scholarship, and she was invited to apply for the Chancellor’s. I have not heard the name nominee scholarship either.</p>
<p>D1’s original scholarship (in 2008) was called a Chancellor’s Nominee scholarship.</p>
<p>What is the differene in time frame from when these scholarships are awarded? In other words, when should kids start hearing if they have gotten the lower scholarship of between $2000 - 12,000 or have these already been awarded? My dauhter was accepted to the honors collee of A & S in late Ocotber and so far has not received any scholarshio info. Does that mean she will get none?</p>
<p>What is her SAT breakdown? Are you in-state or not?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many of the full rides are offered to yield the 10-12 that accept and attend?</p>
<p>10-12 are issued.</p>
<p>Probably more than that are issued. I’m sure some students who get the award decide to attend college elsewhere. Ten to twelve a year enroll, I believe.</p>
<p>Some other colleges will tell you they get a 30-40% yield on full tuition and/or full ride offers–which sounds surprisingly low until one considers that qualifying students often have several colleges where they have won this level of an offer to choose from.</p>
<p>I believe it. When DS went through the UDEL scholarship process, the majority of those students where also heading to other schools to compete for the full rides. One memorable student was awarded the DuPont (full ride) and was in the final round for the Jefferson (UVA’s full ride), he went to Harvard.</p>
<p>I had gotten that 10-12 number from Pitt’s Website…</p>
<p>… “From the Chancellor’s Nominees, the University Honors College (UHC) will select approximately 12 Chancellor’s Scholars each year. The Chancellor’s Scholarship provides full tuition, room, and board for four years and supercedes the Chancellor’s Nominee Scholarship and any other University-sponsored scholarships.”…</p>
<p>32 ACT, 4.0 UW GPA, top 10%. I know she will not get full ride but what about a partial? She is OOS (NY) and already got $25,000 from Tulane</p>
<p>^^^ Hard to say. Did she take the SAT?</p>
<p>No she did not take SAT but a 32 on her ACT puts her in the 99th oercentile nationally and 97th percentile for NY</p>
<p>Has anyone who has applied for CS received an Interview appointment request yet? </p>
<p>@worriedmom-- my son got 32 on ACT and we’re OOS and he got full tuition. Just remember there’s a lot more to it than test scores. This is from the College board site:</p>

Level of Applicant’s Interest</p>
<p>… I am very aware that more goes into being offered full tuition than standardized test scores. FYI my dauhter has a 4.0 UW GPA, lettered in three varsity sports, is a member of the NHS as well as the National /art Honor Society, has attended multiple leadership forums and spent ten days in New Orleans with Habitat for Humanities, rebuilding. She also runs the blood drive in her school twice a year and has befriended a handicapped student, which is well known to the entire staff of the school. She was also an ass’t coach for the girls softball team because no other teacher wanted the job. She has also been inducted into who’s who in Academics and she is a contributor to the school newspaper. She is also president of the diversity club and a member of the fashion art club, which has meetings once each week.<br>
This is my third child attending college in three years and one is in Marist Honors and the other in Boston College honors… Without a full tutition scholarship to Pittsburgh, the third child will attend Tulane in the honors program.</p>
<p>BTW - Tulane with a 26 scholarship is still cheaper than Pitt with a full tuition. Which is reat since the schools are fairly equal academically.</p>
