<p>Hey! I was accepted to FSU and offered two scholarships apparently?
The Tuition Reduction Scholarship and University Freshman Scholarship
I thought you could only get one scholarship, but both show up on my application portal. Anyone else understand this?</p>
<p>Also, if I still don't know if I will attend FSU, should I just wait, accept, or reserve?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What is the difference between waiting and reserving?</p>
<p>by waiting, I meant just not doing anything</p>
<p>Tav253: are you OOS?</p>
<p>yes, I am from North Carolina</p>
<p>If you are from out of state you can get both of those scholarships. See list below. Only the starred scholarships are limited to one. The waiver is not.</p>
<p>University Freshman Scholarship*
A $9,600 scholarship distributed over four years. Recipients are selected from the best freshman students admitted to the University based upon high school grades and test scores.
21st Century Scholarship*
An $8,000 scholarship distributed over four years. Recipients are selected from our top freshman students admitted to the University (just below University Freshman Scholarship level).
Tuition Reduction Scholarship (Waiver)
Awarded to a limited number of Non-Florida freshmen based on academic merit or special talent. The total amount of this award is a 50% reduction (waiver) of the out-of-state portion of the tuition (approximately $6,875 based on 30 semester hours for the 2010-2011 academic year). The waiver amount is only applied to tuition and does not include other fees, nor does it apply towards study-abroad programs. For information about tuition costs, click here.
National Merit Finalist Scholarship*
A $24,000 scholarship distributed over four years. National Merit Finalists must indicate Florida State University as their number one choice institution with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Scholarship awards are limited, and those who indicated Florida State as their first choice early have priority consideration.
National Achievement Finalist Scholarship*
A $24,000 scholarship distributed over four years. National Achievement Finalists must send Florida State University their letter of Finalist notification. Scholarship awards are limited, and those who contact Florida State early have priority consideration.
National Hispanic Scholar Scholarship*
A $24,000 scholarship distributed over four years. National Hispanic Scholars must send Florida State University their letter or Certificate of Scholar designation. Scholarship awards are limited, and those who contact FSU early have priority consideration.</p>
<ul>
<li>Each eligible student may receive only one of the noted merit-based Admission scholarships. Because these scholarships are limited in number, students should be admitted by January 1 for full consideration.</li>
