<p>So yea; I just got a letter in the mail from UF informing me I was selected as a Presidential Scholarship recipient "). I didn't fill out anything for it or anything.</p>
<p>Apparently I qualify for the $8000 one ($1000 a semester).</p>
<p>I was just curious as to who else received this scholarship and how much they were awarded. And also what their HS stats were.</p>
<p>I have a 4.3ish UF GPA, 24 ACTs (really low "/), and around 450 hours of community service. Also I qualify for a lot of financial aid packages due to low family income.</p>
<p>You don't apply for the presidential scholarship. It generally used to recruit high achieving minorities. I know there are different levels. I think gold is $1000/sem and platinum is $2000/sem or something like that. In the past you had to volunteer your time for MINAMBA programs and earn points to keep the scholarship, but I think they took away that requirement. The offer use to come with the admissions letter. </p>
