Presidential Scholarship

<p>What is the academic requirement to maintain the presidential scholarship?</p>

<p>You must maintain at least a 3.5 gpa for all four years. (I’m not sure whether they check by semester or by year, but it’s best to err on the side of caution.)</p>

<p>Actually the letter (for students entering Fall 2010) says you must maintain a 3.25 each year you are enrolled.</p>

<p>Really? Hm, mine for last year said 3.5.</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me what the requirements are to receive a Presidential Scholarship?</p>

<p>And though its a bit off topic (not trying to hijack your topic), but have all Presidential Scholarships and Carr Scholarships already been decided/sent out?</p>

<p>Rutgers does not have anything in writing as to what is specifically needed to get a Presidential Scholarship but based upon people on these boards who got one it seems as if you have to have at least 2200 on the SATs (close to 1500 on R/M) and be at the top of your class. I also think you need to be in state.</p>

<p>It seems as if people started receiving them at the end of December through mid January. Nobody has posted about receiving one lately. Whats also interesting is I don’t think anyone has received anything other than a Presidential yet, whereas last year people were receiving partial scholarships.</p>

<p>Agreed… they also make no mention of any partial scholarships for first-year students on the website. This makes me very nervous…</p>
