Hi! I was admitted to Florida State today from Out of State, and received the full out of state tuition waver. I was hoping to have a chance at the freshman scholarship ($9600), but there was nothing about that on my portal. Do they notify for this scholarship later, or did I just not get it? Thanks!
Just responded on your other post. My D18 also got the OOS Waiver but no mention of Freshman Scholarship. Interested to hear from others who may have received or know more.
I just got off the phone with FSU Admissions and apparently there was a decision made this morning that the Freshman Scholarship would only apply to instate applicants. Total disappoint to OOS applicants and too bad they did not share this earlier as it could clearly sway plans to apply.
Wow that’s disappointing
Definitely disappointing - I get that the OOS waiver is generous but to switch up the rules on the admissions day is pretty lame. This decision should have been made in the Fall and posted under that scholarship as applicants invested time and money under the belief that they may be eligible for the scholarship.
I don’t think it’s a huge monetary difference. Getting the OOS waiver is the bigger deal.
Do you mind sharing your stats for receiving the OOS waiver as my son did not receive it and I’m trying to determine whether we should call and request a re-consideration?
