<p>hi, i go to Penn State-branch campus transferring probably to main campus 2 semesters from now.</p>
<p>Anyways my gpa will probably be 4.00 this semester, which will bring my cum gpa at 3.4 </p>
<p>Because the college i go to is so small, the college as a whole offers scholarships not each individual college within the university. I went office this week to inquire about some sort of scholarship for Fall 2005 and they told me they already gave out all their scholarships they offer to students already for FALL 2005. My major is business related- not sure though what specific concentration i will settle on if that helps. I want to go to the Smeal Business school up at main campus, and she told me up there the schools within the university offer the scholarships, so my best bet would be obtaining something from the Smeal Business school but the problem i run into there is the qualifications up there for obtaining scholarship are much harder than at branch campuses. Even though the branch campus offers a small amount, you only need 3.0 cum gpa up at U. Park you need many times 3.8 so probably the scholarship itself is more , i dont know???</p>
<p>Can someone give me any info on obtaining some sort of scholarship, what can i do to raise my chances. Is 3.4cum gpa enough? I just became aquainted with FastWeb but that seems unhelpful with all the advertising throughout the site and they scholarships like do you bowl then you can get 2,000 and so on, i dont know it seemed a bit shady to me. Are those type of scholarships valid?</p>
