New Scholarship Packages

<p>I remember some posters being concerned about the apparent removal of certain guaranteed scholarships and saw this yesterday:</p>

<p>Miami</a> University News: News Release</p>

Miami’s merit scholarship packages for Ohio residents offer guaranteed aid on this scale: Students with a 30 or higher ACT composite (or 1330 or higher SAT: critical reading + math (CR+M)) + 3.70 GPA or above on 4.0 scale will receive $6,500; those with 28 or 29 ACT composite (or 1250-1320 SAT CR+M) + 3.70 or above GPA will receive $4,500; students with 26 or 27 ACT composite (or 1170-1240 SAT CR+M) + 3.70 GPA or above will receive $2,000. </p>

<p>High-achieving out-of-state students will receive merit scholarship packages as such: students with 30 or higher ACT composite (or 1330 or higher SAT CR+M) + 3.70 or above GPA on 4.0 scale will receive $9,000; those with a 28 or 29 ACT composite (or 1250-1320 SAT CR+M) + 3.70 or above GPA will receive $7,000; students with a 26 or 27 ACT composite (or 1170-1240 SAT CR+M) + 3.70 GPA or above will receive $4,500.

<p>Wooh! That helps. Good strategic move.</p>

<p>Under the Honor’s Program there is a statement about honor’s students being given priority to Miami Donor Scholarships, does anyone have any information about this? Is this in addition to this new guaranteed amount? This new information is encouraging, I am just wondering if it is the final number for Honors.</p>

<p>Attention to future students:
Make sure to apply to “Returning Student Scholarships”, in all years at Miami. D. received very considerable additional Merit scholarship for 2nd year. Deadline is March 15 and she missed it last year. Notification about these is sent in email as curtesy, D. received it only in her Freshman year. Most kids do not apply thinking it is not worthwhile. With high college GPA it is very worthwhile, you might be surprised.</p>
