<p>I live in San Jose and I just received my President’s Scholarship notification yesterday (3/15). Does everyone receive the same $13,000/year or is it based on achievement?</p>
<p>2060 SAT, 4.0 and top 20% of class.</p>
<p>I believe it is different based on achievement. I received $16,000/year. 32 ACT, 4.0 top 2%</p>
<p>Thanks! (I’m not entirely sure of the class percentage, I just put 20 because that seems to be the bare minimum requirement). Well done with your grades and thanks for the information!</p>
<p>Regarding whomever is interested about the Honors College, I am currently a student in the Honors College at RIT, receiving the Presidential and Honors Scholarships. The Honors letter came after I was notified of receiving the Presidential Scholarship and was a separate package containing information about the Honors Program. RIT no longer offers an Honors scholarship for the class of 2017 onwards. Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>vera94, can you clarify what you mean about the Honors scholarship no longer being offered? We were told the Honors program offers $1,000 for housing. Is that different from the scholarship, or is that the $$ that is no longer offered?</p>
<p>@w2bhome - sure, I received an email from the honors college last month saying that since the merit amounts for the presidential scholarships have increased, there is no longer an honors scholarship available - only those who entered in the class of 2016 and before will continue to receive the extra thousand dollars per year if they are continued. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>And sorry about the wait, I didn’t subscribe to the thread - my mistake.</p>
