<p>Anyone have the stat cutoffs and dollar amounts for the Pegasus scholarship levels?</p>
<p>I don't know that there are published cutoffs but the Gold Pegasus ($10,000)was awarded to a friend of my D's who had a 1380 SAT and about 4.2 GPA.</p>
<p>Thanks, seiclan. Was that in state?</p>
<p>I found the numbers for USF and I am thinking UCF may be similar

<p>Yes, my D's friend is instate. She is currently waiting to hear from UF before she decides where she will attend but that scholarship definitely will tip the balance toward UCF for her. </p>
<p>BTW, my elder D (a current sophomore at UF) was offered the Silver Pegasus Scholarship at UCF (I believe it was $7600 two years ago but is up to $8000 now). She also turned down a $9600 scholarship at FSU.</p>
<p>I also got the Gold Pegasus award with a 33 ACT and 4.8 uw GPA.</p>
<p>Would be nice to have a chart of all of these wouldn't it? Not just to compare colleges but to know if ten more points on the SAT might be worth a few thousand dollars. FSU used to post their University scholars cutoffs but I don't see it online anymore.</p>
<p>seiclan, do you know if UF has a similar scholarship scale?</p>
<p>davidng, thanks for another data point.</p>
<p>I don't believe that UF gives any merit scholarships (other than national merit).</p>
<p>Was wondering because I just read this quote in the Sun-Sentinel
"Universities such as the University of Florida are increasingly using their own institutional aid dollars to buy up high-performing students who aren't from low-income families," said Danette Gerald, assistant director of higher education policy for the Education Trust, a Washington, D.C., policy and advocacy group.
Doesn't sound like he's talking about national merit since UF has been cutting back on that.</p>
<p>I got the Gold for OOS and it ended up being 27,000 over 4 years. My stats were 4.4 WGPA and 1500 SAT.</p>
<p>My D received the Pegasus Gold with a 30 - ACT and a 4.138 GPA (in state)</p>
<p>Is there a listing of the scholarship levels and amounts somewhere? I've been looking all over and I can't find them anywhere.</p>
<p>No, UCF dosen't publish a listing.</p>
<p>I'm fairly certain Gold is the top unless you qualify as a National Merit Semifinalist or better. Then you get the big time money.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when UCF informs you about being a Pegasus scholar? My daughter got her acceptance from UCF on Thursday (she still can't view anything online--it says she doesn't exist) and her invitation to apply to the Honors college on Friday. There is a place on the Honors application for whether you are a Pegasus scholar. Those of you who did receive that when did you hear?</p>
<p>My daughter got the award letter about two weeks after the acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Seiclan, would you mind posting your D's stats? My son was admitted and we were wondering if he might be offered a scholarship, haven't heard anything yet. Thanks</p>
<p>My elder D's SAT was 1330 (2010) and her GPA was a 3.83 (at a private, competitive prep school). She was offered the Pegasus Silver Scholarship in October of 2005 (for use in Fall 2006). She opted to attend UF. Good Luck to your son!</p>
<p>Davidng150, was that your weighted GPA or unweighted? I didn't think UW could go over 4.0? And, if you don't mind answering, was your ACT composite during one sitting or combined from several?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I think my scholarship offer also came about 2 weeks after the acceptance letter arrived in the mail.</p>
<p>Thanks Seiclan, I goofed, I thought you were talking about your D who was just recently accepted to UCF. I thought our younger kids (I have a S who is a sophmore at UF also) had roughly the same stats and he might be offered something too.</p>
