Presidential Scholarship

<p>I got my letter telling me that I received the presidential scholarship today, can I still get other scholarships or is this the limit? Also does anyone know how generous maryland's with financial aid?</p>

<p>I don’t know if you can get more money. May I ask how much you received and what your basic stats are? Thanks.</p>

<p>Can we still get departmental scholarships, and when do they come out?</p>

<p>I came on here to ask the same question. Although I appreciate the scholarship I really need more to attend.</p>

<p>It says on their website (a quick search for University of Maryland scholarships will get you to the exact page) that the Presidential scholarship goes up to $12,000 / year, although I have yet to talk to anyone who got that much. </p>

<p>I got $8k a year (32k total), which is pretty solid imo (roughly 50% of tuition in state)</p>

<p>Anyone know about departmental scholarships?</p>

<p>Those who have received scholarships, are you in state?</p>

<p>Yes and I got one</p>

<p>I am in state. 20K over 4 yrs.</p>

<p>Did we have to fill out FAFSA to be considered for merit scholarships? I assumed that it is just for need-based money, right?</p>

<p>I think you needed to fill out fafsa regardless. </p>

<p>I got $32,000 for 4 years, in state. I heard it was something all honors got?</p>

<p>nah
i know someone in honors who got 20k total</p>

<p>Also Honors and 20K over 4 yrs. So privledged to be one of only 7 accepted into my major but I may not be able to make this work. Hoping to hear from lots of the private scholarships I have applied for and will keep applying for.</p>

<p>Can those that received a scholarship post their stats</p>

<p>Son got $20,000 total - 4.0 unweighted, 2,270 SAT. Had been hoping for more and now hoping to negotiate. Anyone know anything about negotiating these Presidential Scholarships?</p>

<p>I’m so excited to have gotten a scholarship! I’m in-state, Honors, and have a 3.48 GPA (I didn’t really do any work freshman year… whoops!) and 2340 SAT (780/780/780). I got $32,000 over 4 years, which I’m very pleased about! With need-based scholarships and JHU tuition remission, it should come down to less than $5,000 a year.
I’m hoping to get a departmental scholarship (Math), but I’m not really sure how they work. I saw on the UMD site that students should contact their individual department to find out about scholarship opportunities, so I think I’ll do that soon. I hope I haven’t missed any deadlines!
If anyone knows… well, anything at all, really, about the departmental scholarships, info would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Son hasn’t had less than an A for 4 years in HS, 7 Ap classes, #11 in his class, etc the awards so far seem to be 100% SAT based. He has 1390/1600 and 2170/2400 He was awarded $1,500 one time non renewable. Was hoping for a little better but We’ll have to find a way to make it work. He’s hitting Fastweb and others hard now. He was admitted Honors so not all Honors received big $.
P.S. In State no B/K offer obviously</p>

<p>Only got 8k altogether for presidential scholarship…</p>

<p>so if it says amount of 8000 to be given equally over 4 years that means i got 2 a year? it says presidential scholarship</p>

<p>Same question ^</p>
