<p>My son received an academic out of state merit scholarship of 7500.00 per year, with no mention of OOS waiver. I assume that it will not come later, and that is all he will be offered? We are very grateful for that, of course, but being OOS it is still gonna be tough to come up with the rest. Hate to visit, and love it, without being able to afford Clemson. </p>
<p>Anyone ever receive additional scholarship, after the initial award with acceptance?</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing, but for transfer admissions. Bumping the thread along…</p>
<p>There are plenty of reports of additional scholarships (Clemson says about 15% of students receive scholarships in addition to their OOS merit scholarships) after the initial award but they will most likely be smaller scholarships.</p>
<p>It seems that Clemson is moving away from using the term OOS waiver and just simply saying that if you are a high achieving out of state student, you will receive scholarship money from $5,000-15,000. Maybe this is so they can make more scholarship offers to more students? I’m not sure what the reasoning is.</p>
<p>Getting most of my info from here: <a href=“Office of Student Financial Aid | Clemson University”>Office of Student Financial Aid | Clemson University;
<p>In addition, there are many websites out there that offer scholarships so colleges alone are not the only source. Some websites that may be helpful: <a href=“Types of Aid - Student Financial Aid | Clemson University”>Types of Aid - Student Financial Aid | Clemson University; (know this is probably not what you are looking for…)</p>
<p>The Clemson website contains this statement, so it looks like they may still award some o.o.s tuition scholarships on top of the recruiting scholarships: “Academic recruiting scholarships awarded to out-of-state residents can include a companion Out-of-State Tuition Scholarship that covers part or all of the out-of-state tuition and fee differential (unless otherwise noted).” Does anyone know how hard those are to get?
My daughter (o.o.s) applied in mid-October and was accepted today. Her GPA is 3.9UW/4.75W, with class rank right around 5%. She got a 32 on the ACT and 1480/2200 on the SAT. She was awarded $15,000/year academic scholarship with no mention of any o.o.s. tuition scholarship.</p>
<p>I think that’s what you got just with a different name</p>
<p>Pierre,
I think you are probably right. On another part of the website it mentions out of state waivers may accompany the scholarships. When I read it I assumed that you could get both a wavier and some sort of money. However it looks like I read it wrong.</p>
<p>I received this response today to an email I sent to Student Financial Aid at Clemson: “The $15,000 scholarship is the highest scholarship we offer out-of-state students. The $15,000 is for the year at Clemson University. (Fall and Spring) It will be split between the two semesters. We also offer a Non-Resident grant for out-of-state students. You must fill out the FAFSA before March 1st, have financial need, and have a 1250 on the SAT (28 ACT). This grant is for $2500 per year.”</p>
