Merit Scholarships

@charlixcx is the Benacquisto showing in your portal??

Charlix - Congratulationsā€¦What were your stats !

@Bioed My D is OOS and received notificaton of a scholarship in her portal and by email

Sunshine scholarship 16k/yr. OOS notified today via portal about 11:30
1550 SAT 1/425 class rank 4.0 UW GPA 17 AP

@sherimba03 Sounds like you have a really great kid :wink:

If events end up needing to be cancelled then yes, we will definitely let everyone know as soon as we do.

My D also got the sunshine scholarship $16k/yr. OOS, 1490 SAT, 1st in class, 4.0 UW GPA, lots of leadership, sports, and other ECā€™s. Wow, we werenā€™t even considering UF because of the cost, but now it is a different story!

I got an email saying I was awarded a merit scholarship with a link to my portal to view the details. :slight_smile:

My OOS daughter received the Gator Nation. Such an honor!!! She got the Singer from UM (full tuition), so she has a major decision to make. Either way she looks bound for the state of Florida!

Any merit scholarships for in-state applicants? Did anyone get an update on Benacquisto? Are the scholarship updates on the admissions portal or is it through a link in the email?

If thereā€™s no portal update and no email, does that mean no scholarship?

@SolMar D and I both received email indicating she had received a merit scholarship (it did not say amount or name of scholarship in the email). It said to log in to portal for scholarship details. When she logged in to her portal there was a link to click on to show details of scholarship name and amount

Just confirmingā€¦ is anyone In State or are all of these notifications OOS?

@SolMar - All of the information on scholarships are on the application portal of the students who were awarded. Merit Scholarships for in-state students have also been awarded. If we received the information from National Merit on the first list then those are also on the application status. We will be getting the next National Merit list in a few days and will start coding the next group.

@jotvjo - Correct, no portal update would mean that no merit scholarship was awarded.

Student Financial Aid still thinks they are going out with their packages on Friday.

I got 20k a year! So happy about this.

@Melissa96 my twins both put UF as first choice for NMSC by MArch 1 but they didnā€™t receive anything in their portal yet. The lady in admissions said it might not show up till end of week.

@LaxMom2020 In state and received. Melissa says above that In State has been updated.

Iā€™m in state and was so happy to receive Presidential Gold (8k/year)! SAT 1560, Rank 6/495, NMF. Unbelievably excited and grateful

@twinmommy No, I just know whenever it does come out I will qualify for it. I guess that was misleading, I didnā€™t think about it like that. Itā€™s solely based on NMF (I think) and I got a letter from college board saying I was one.

1600 SAT, 800 on Math II/Chem, 5s on 10/10 APs, 4.0 GPA, 5 on AIME. Really into math and art history. I also got into the URSP and Honors college (with the $2,000 scholarship, in addition to the $40,000 from the platinum scholarship). In state. My honors essay were kinda eh not going to lie, I wrote them in likeā€¦ one night lol. But I think my grades and scores really did it. One other student from my school (at least so far) also got platinum. He had a 36 ACT, top 5 GPA, ISEF finalist and stuff like that. Overall, it seems to be extremely score/grades focused (although I do know someone with a 36 that got into MIT but not URSP).

unrelated question I just got an email to update document to support residency ā€¦ what document could be send ā€¦ driver license,ā€¦
