Rutgers scholarship?

Paying for College

<p>I have an unweighted GPA of 3.87 and an ACT score of 35. The website says you need to have a A grade point average for the Presidential Scholarship. Does a 3.87 count as an A grade point average? My school doesn't do weighted GPA's, but I have taken 5 AP courses and currently take classes at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.</p>

<p>Yes, a 3.87 is an A. But those stats are the min to be considered. You will still need to compete for the scholarship with similar students.</p>

<p>While it does appear that OOS students are considered, the award doesn’t increase for OOS students.</p>

<p>$25,000 per year, including a $11,700 credit for on-campus housing and dining. For those who choose not to live on campus, the award will be $13,300 per year.</p>

<p>So, it appears that once you subtract the $11,700, you’d get about $13,300 towards tuition/fees…but the OOS tuition/fees is $28,600…so that won’t even cover half of tuition/fees. </p>

<p>Is that ok? </p>

<p>I didn’t notice that the $11,700 credit was included in the $25,000. I guess I’ll chop rutgers off my list.</p>
