Merit scholarship ?

<p>Can anyone tell me what the minimum academic criteria is to qualify for the </p>

<li><p>University Scholarship ($9,600)</p></li>
<li><p>21st Century Scholarship ($8,000)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>My son received the University Scholarship but I don't know what the official criteria was to receive it. I do know you have to take at least 28 credits in the Fall and Spring semesters and maintain at least a 3.0 GPA to continue to receive it each year.</p>

<p>My D qualified for the University Scholarship last year (2006). She had a 1330/2010 SAT and 3.8 GPA.</p>

<p>Yes my son's stats were similar to Seiclan's daughter 1340 SAT and 3.8 GPA.</p>

<p>My son also was offered the University Scholarship-- ACT 32, Top 10 % and GPA from Virginia 3.85 (they don't weight honors/pre-IB/pre-AICE).</p>

<p>So they do no weighting at all?</p>

<p>The academic criteria for these scholarships likely increases each year. For example, the top 25% of freshmen <em>enrolled</em> at FSU now has an average SAT score of 1332 and/or an ACT of 30 per this</a> page on FSU's website.</p>

<p>Bottom line - if want to be considered for these scholarships, apply as early as possible. I doubt FSU will give every student (some 1000+ students) in the top 25% $9600 or $8000 each.</p>

<p>i got the university scholars scholarship, i had a 30 act.</p>
