<p>seniormom1103, are those scholarships automatically awarded or is that just what you need to be eligible? the site wasn’t too clear about that…</p>
<p>also, are you required to meet BOTH the GPA/test score minimums listed? because according to my test scores I qualify for the $16,000 one but my GPA is only a 3.8W.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>For Seattle U, you must have both the GPA and test scores.</p>
<p>However, I don’t understand your post. </p>
<p>What is your test score?</p>
<p>1870 sat/28 act</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>Then you have to have the higher GPA, too.</p>
<p>Right now, you qualify for the $12k per year.</p>
<p>Are you going to test again?</p>
<p>wow upon second glance at that chart, that’s actually really clear. haha thank you though! i’m retaking SAT’s in May and ACT’s maybe in September.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Good luck!!! Get some practice books!!! And read the front sections…full of good review!</p>

<p>posters to this thread, THANKS. Good thread. Try if possible to include a link to the college, too, in the post. As someone said in this thread, the scholarships change all the time at random colleges, and this thread’s <em>subject</em> is valid for the Fall class of 2011, too (of which my son is a member). By including a link, it makes the info more dynamic.</p>
<p>One thing I wanted to know : can these these 'automatic merit scholarships ’ be combined with other need based FA offers? If y’all cut coupons, you know that sometime you cannot get BOTH sales offers! Of course you just gotta read the fine print.</p>
<p>Hey, any web meister wanting some eyeballs on your page for ad revenue…</p>
<p>COLLECT and Assemble this info into a nice spreasheet chart with sortable columns for stdized score, GPA, and other hard criteria, along with, of course, the amount of the aid and any caveats. The colleges ranking (pick one or more, say, USNR, eg) and location s/ also be included. It is after all, the dependent variable here. Since the info is dynamic as was just said, it is perfect for a website and people will want to come back to click on it. </p>
<p>It would be like a a ‘college sale sheet’. In these times, it will sell, people will click, eyeballs will take note! And since it would cut through the clutter, and make the info more clear to the user, it might make the colleges compete better with each other (they might want to be sorted towards the top).</p>
<p>Opportunity. :)</p>

<p>I’m not sure what you’re asking.</p>
<p>If you’re asking…if a student receives - say - free tuition merits scholarship - can he also get grants and such?</p>
<p>Well, it would depend on the school. However, if you qualify for fed or state aid, those would be rights that the school can’t take away from you.</p>
<p>So, a low income student could get a scholarship, Pell, state grant, work-study, fed loans, etc. </p>
<p>But, a student with a high EFC - say 20k - for a school with a COA of $30k, would not get FA if his scholarship is for $15k, because his scholarship covered all his need and cut into his EFC. He could still take out an unsub Stafford, though, I think.</p>
<p>the ‘combined with two offers’ bit was supposed to mean combining merit and need based scholarships.</p>
<p>Can a student, in other words, get scholarship money from automatic academic merit AS WELL AS non loan based FA for Need (lower EFC)? As we know, most of the time colleges meet need mostly with loans. I understand the ‘automatic academic scholarships’ to be grants or money that does not have to be paid back. </p>
<p>I wondered if a college might not give the ‘automatic academic scholarship’ if it is already ‘meeting’ (ahem) financial need (with loans).</p>
<p>Is Auburn GPA weighted?</p>
<p>^^^
Which Auburn scholarship are you asking about? The one that only requires a 3.25? That’s only for about $3500…not much.</p>
<p>recall that there is the fastweb site. It tends to be very low-odds and odd-like like… ‘there are two scholarships available for…’

<p>Schreyer Honors college (Penn State’s acclaimed honors program) gives automatic $3500/yr if student is accepted. The honors college does not consider SATs/ACTs in its decision to admit, but only looks at academic record.</p>

COA $34, 950</p>
<p>Offers merit scholarships of $7500 to full tuition. Automatic scholarships available to $15,000 per year (95 percent average with an 1150 SAT/26 ACT; or 91 percent average, 1210 SAT score /27 ACT). Scholarship calculator available:

<p>As a side note, Niagara also offers a level tuition plan for all four years:
The Level Tuition Plan (LTP) allows students to “lock in” on one tuition rate for four years. The LTP is open to new, first-time, full-time, undergraduate freshmen. This is an optional plan. Under LTP, students will pay a slightly higher rate of tuition for the first year, but will be guaranteed that same rate for the remaining three years. (The slightly higher rate for this year’s incoming class was $1300 over the regular tuition rate).</p>
