I’m curious about the merit award amounts for students similar to my daughter. She is OOS, has 3.5 UW/3.9 W, 29 ACT, and impressive ECs, including major leadership role in well-known international youth organization, published writer and intern at newspaper, lobbied on Capitol Hill, significant community involvement, athlete, etc. She was awarded the Founders Scholarship for $9000, but I was a little surprised by the amount.
That is in line with the previous couple years. Last year that is what my sister was offered with a 3.9 and 30 ACT. They only look at scores and GPA for scholarships, not ECs BTW.
Yeah, when I visited they told me they only looked at GPA and SAT for merit scholarships. I got President’s with a 1490 and a 3.88 u/w and a 4.5 weighted
