<p>That’s great, but I don’t think that scholarship is ASSURED. The website says that it’s “competitive.” While your son has a good chance, it’s not assured.</p>
<p>*Selection Criteria</p>
<p>Merit scholarship awards are competitive and are allocated based on available funding. …</p>
<p>Rutgers scholarships are competitive awards. There is no set of “numbers” that will guarantee a scholarship or scholarship amount… </p>
<p>To be considered, students must have at least 2250 combined SAT or an ACT score of 35 and an A grade point average. *</p>
<p>A true safety is a school that you know for SURE that you’ll have costs covered. So, more likely a school that gives ASSURED scholarships would be your son’s safety.</p>
<p>BTW…do you know if your son’s dad will fill out the FA paperwork each year? The only reason I’m mentioning this is because some NCP’s won’t.</p>
