<p>not necessary a full scholarship...but what is a typical amount and how often does that occur? and could u include a sample resume that might get what ever scholarship</p>
<p>A National Merit finalist from my D’s high school got one. Of the 30 or so kids from our suburban Houston school going to UT, he’s the only one I know with a scholarship.</p>
<p>I received a $13,000/yr scholarship from the college of Liberal Arts (only 5 per year awarded) and was offered a $2000/yr Texas Exes Award for Leadership and Excellence but had to turn that down because I received the above scholarship. That scholarship is awarded to something like 7 kids a year.</p>
<p>There are quite a few smaller scholarships (usually about $1,000) per year awarded through the Texas exes. Some of the academic units (particularly engineering) will also award scholarships.</p>
<p>National Merit is $3,000/yr plus $1000 for the freshman year if you are Texan.</p>
<p>But full scholarships are non-existant unless you are a scholarship athlete, and only a very very small number will receive any merit-based award. I’d say no more than 10% receive anything, and probably no more than 1% receive more than $1000 a year.</p>
<p>Depends on the college. In Engineering, I was OOS, and not even top 10% in my school (although my school did not rank, it did distinguish the top 10% highest GPAs in the class), and I got into Engineering Honors and received a waiver for the additional OOS tuition, as well as a $3,000 scholarship. </p>
<p>When I went to the ECJ to get my scholarship check, I saw a huge line of people that had also received scholarships. I think engineering has a lot more money for scholarships than some of the other colleges (such as natural sciences), so it definitiely depends on your major.</p>
<p>CSE hands out scholarships like candy.</p>
<p>I believe the scholarships may have something to do with the new Cockrell part to the College of Engineering.</p>
<p>When do engineering scholarships show up online? Has anyone with an engineering scholarship received any more information about writing a thank you letter and getting the funds in the fall?</p>
