OOS Scholarships

<p>I interested in knowing if anyone has information regarding scholarships for OOS applicants. </p>

<p>Primarily, interested in award amounts and ACT score cut offs?</p>

<p>I’m from Nebraska, I got offered a full tuition scholarship and was nominated to apply for the Chancellor’s Scholarship. That has a pretty amazing package, tuition, room and board, book fees, and $2,000 for study abroad which is great for me because I definitely will study abroad. I don’t know how many of those are offered though. My superscored ACT was 35, don’t know anything about cutoffs.</p>

<p>The Chancellor’s Scholarship is out of the question for my D. I was wondering about lower levels of merit for OOS.</p>

<p>If your dd gets into UHC, for OOS awards usually were 10-12K, not sure if that changed last yr. </p>

<p>I’m OOS (AL), and I just got my full tuition yesterday! Along with it came an invite for the Chancellors.</p>

<p>Any clue re: the stats to get into UHC??</p>

<p>Sorry, it’s all over the Pitt threads so I thought you knew. Typically the cut off is 1450 SAT and top 5% of class (if measured) - exceptions sometimes but that’s the threshold they mention in print.</p>

<p>State of residence, ethnicity, gender, and intended major make a huge difference too. Alabama and Nebraska are DEFINITELY underrepresented states at Pitt and will be easier to get money from than Ohio, New York, or Maryland (for instance).</p>

<p>A female minority wanting to do engineering will probably have an easier chance at money than a white male who wants to study bio/pre med.</p>

<p>The stats are the first step, after that is small things (some unfortunately out of your control) like state/ethnicity, and then your roundness of your application (intended major, things you did in HS, etc.)</p>
