<p>@thoughtprovoking: i’ve heard that you will probably be accepted to car, but the money part was still a rumor. Are you sure? :O</p>
<p>has anybody that applied this year got a scholarship day invite yet?</p>
<p>if u need money…meaning family is not well off, carolina will give u tons of aid making ur education nearly free. i dunno about full rides too much, but you have a pretty good chance…then again i dont really know much about the qualifications.</p>
<p>My in-state son received a scholarship day invitation the day before Christmas - nice present! The letter said that 150 were invited.</p>
<p>thanks sparrow, but any oos get the invite yet or does it seem to be an instate thing?</p>
<p>idt you will get full tuition bc OOS its too hard</p>
<p>^ That was eloquent.</p>
<p>I want to meet someone who has gotten a full tutition scholarship to UNC Chapel Hill. What were their scores and etc? Seems to me that you’ve got to be better than perfect to receive that kind of award.</p>
<p>Jstyles, there are several students on full rides to UNC that post on this board. If I’m correct, most of the ‘named’ scholarships - Carolina, Davies, etc. - are full rides for OOS students.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the minor scholarship values are bumped as well for out of state students? I mean, a $1,000 scholarship is about 6.25% of the estimated cost for in state students, but only 3% of the estimated out of state cost. It seems that UNC increases scholarships for out of state students to attract some of the academic elite of the country, so it stands to reason even the smaller, nameless scholarships would be bumped up too, right? </p>
<p>At least here in the Midwest, many state schools offer scholarships for out of state students that bring the out of state cost down to a comparable level as nearby state universities’ in-state cost. This is to attract out of state students and give them more options. I got a $9,000 scholarship to Indiana University that brings the cost of IU down to around that of U of I, and was wondering if maybe these smaller scholarships at UNC play a similar role?</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>as far as i know, the small scholarship (about 1,000) are generally given to in state students. im not sure if this is completely true, but i havent met an out of state scholarship winner with such a small scholarship. i think the scholarships deparment realizes what you pointed out - small scholarships dont really help out of staters - and decided to devote that money to large scholarships that could really draw top students</p>
