Crimson Scholarship/Academic Elite

<p>Hey everyone, new poster here. I’ve applied to UA (and been accepted) and have sent my application in to the Honors College. I am also probably going to apply to Fellows Experience. On the scholarship website, it says that one must be in the UFE to obtain an Academic Elite scholarship. Do I have to be in the UFE to obtain a Crimson Scholarship? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>It doesn’t look like you have to be in Fellows to qualify for Crimson scholarship, but it does look at “need.”</p>

<p>^^^That’s what I’m thinking too. If you reside in these counties, it may be easier for you to get the Crimson scholarship. Academic Elite is only if you get into Fellows and then you are still competing for it, though Academic Elite is not supposed to be for NMF scholarship recipients, and I’m sure some fellows are NMF.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many Crimson scholarships are awarded?</p>
