<p>Alright so i get a letter from the financial aid office today saying that they're giving me a 1000 dollar scholorship and then read on about how if they give you a scholorship that you automaticly apply for a nonresident tuition waver due to some texas law or something.</p>

<p>A few questions about this because I have never heard about this rule.
1. Does this apply for all scholorships because that would have been helpfull a month ago when I got a different scholorship and have been waiting ever since for more aid.
2. Why isnt this advertised anywhere, I mean this is a 13k difference and I had never seen it on their website or anything.
3. How hard is it at Texas to keep a 3.5 GPA that this scholorship requires because I think that if I loose the 1k than the rest of the nonresident tuition waver goes down with it.</p>

<p>Apparently, you can get a tuition waiver if you get a scholarship worth atleast $1000. And with the fin aid tht I have received I really need a scholarship.</p>

<p>You could have applied for the general scholarship that UT offers or you can apply for inter-departmental scholarships. You basically have to compete with other texans for the scholarship to be considered eligible for the waiver.</p>

<p>they just told me that it was a general scholorship i guess, I got a $1,500 scholorship from the engineering school about a month ago and it said nothing of this tuition waver. I havnt even gotten my finacial aid yet so I have no idea how this is all going to work out.</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure that they give the 1k scholarship (davidson?) and non resident oos waiver to natl merit finalists (in addition to those that get 1k in scholarships from any source).</p>

<p>i got a college of engineering $2,000 scholarship with a nonresident tuition waiver like in february. and just this week i got a $1,000 scholarship and that came with a nonresident tuition waiver too. i got something called the august kunz scholarship on my CA$H website too...i'm not sure if it's the same $1,000 one i got in the mail though, because the letter didn't say a specific name...hmmmm and i didn't get national merit at all</p>
