<p>Ohio University's website says students are "considered" for the Gateway Award Program. Is the Gateway Excellence Scholarship guaranteed if a student has a 3.0 GPA and an ACT score of 32 or above? That would be full tuition. Are there other scholarships available for students with a 3.0 GPA and an ACT score of 32 or above to cover room and board, etc.?</p>
<p>S1 was awarded a Gateway Award with a 3.10 GPA and a 30 on his ACT. We didn’t have to fill out a separate application. He ultimately chose not to go to Ohio but I always thought the Gateway program was the best one out there. You might want to look at some of the threads about schools with good financial aid here on CC.</p>
<p>First of all, the OU web site says scholarships will be different for Fall of '14 than they were for '13.</p>
<p>But even for '13 it doesn’t appear that any are automatic: “The program is designed to blend merit and need-based aid to eligible students.” - so they have a need-based component.</p>
<p>There’s also a lot of language about “when will I find out if I received it” and so on.</p>
<p>Thanks. The OU website on scholarships is confusing, hence my question. Somewhere on here I read OU Gateway listed as guaranteed but that’s not the way I read it. My daughter has a 3.9 GPA and received a 32 on her ACT. I am of course hoping for the full tuition scholarship from OU. I guess I will just have to wait and see.</p>
