Presidential Scholarship

<p>Hi everyone. According to the chart on the scholarship website, it says if you have a 33 ACT and a certain gpa you are “in consideration” for a full ride. So what does this mean your actual chances are? I have a 33 ACT, 4.0 gpa, 2 of 425 class rank. I’m taking a gap year to go on foreign exchange, so I’m not applying till this summer. Does Auburn give this scholarship to most people who meet these requirements?</p>

<p>It used to be automatic. I guess they just changed that. It would be hard for me to say what your chances are as I don’t know how many applicants, that will not be National Merit Finalists, they plan to award the Presidential to. Apply and see what happens.</p>

<p>I was told that while it is not guaranteed, 100% of the students who qualified have received the scholarship the last two years.</p>

<p>For Alabama residents, the Presidential Scholarship is automatically rewarded if you meet the GPA and ACT/SAT requirements, but for out-of-state, it is not automatic.</p>

<p>I got it, and I was 20 pts above the SAT requirement.</p>

<p>I got it with a 33 ACT and a 3.76 weighted GPA, which is barely passed the minimum, so I’m sure you will be fine.</p>
