Scholarship Thread

<p>What is the essay topic? and does this have to be different from your application essays?</p>

<p>I just got two letters from Michigan about 2 weeks after I got my acceptance letter. The first was a letter asking me to join the honors college and the other was the $1500 Michigan Regents Scholarship ( Non-Renewable/ Merit-Based).</p>

<p>I just got the Regents Scholarship! I got accepted like three weeks ago. A thousand here, fifteen hundred there...it all adds up!</p>

<p>Congratulations! I am still hoping for some scholarship money for my daughter, but so far it has been lots of ~congratulations, please send the $200 deposit as soon as possible, and no ~please come, here's some money to sweeten the deal!~</p>

<p>F-U-C-K</p>

<p>only honors letter here, no monies.</p>

<p>I don't understand the scholarships.
My friend got accepted yesterday, with a 12,000 LSA Dean's Scholarship in the admissions packet. While she is a smart individual, I don't believe her stats are spectacular... That leads me to believe that she must have written really good essays.
I got accepted a week ago, but no money yet. :(</p>

<p>Also, she is not URM..</p>

<p>Just got a letter for the Award of Excellence. By submitting my FAFSA and CSS I will be considered for a need/merit 2000-12000 per year renewable scholarship. This is IN ADDITION to me Michigan Scholars Award of $60,000 over four years. YEAH!!</p>

<p>damn, I want a scholarship!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I cant afford 40,000 a year!!!!!</p>

<p>wait, valawe, did you already submit fafsa and CSS? and are you black/native american/hispanic?</p>

<p>lol, i really got screwed then. i submitted good essays, but they were nothing compared to my harvard, cornell, and medical scholars essays i've written.</p>

<p>i got the 2-14,000 thing too. How many people are nominated and how many actually get it?</p>

<p>Good job on getting that money. See if you can describe the specific scholarships for us.</p>

<p>No, I am white.</p>

<p>valawe, you are from new hampshire, which is an underrepresented state!</p>

<p>Awesome on the MSA!</p>

<p>Ironic how it is cheaper to live out of state in a smaller, rural area than to apply from in-state if you have good stats.</p>

<p>Are there any hawaii, alaska, north dakota, montana, rhode island, etc applicants?</p>

<p>What are the URStates? Obviously Hawaii, Alaska, Dakotas, and those really weird states that I never hear anything about...what else?</p>

<p>deep south, like alabama, missisippi, louisiana. also some of the mountain states like idaho, utah, etc.</p>

<p>My daughter got the Regent's Merit Scholarship in yesterday's mail. It is a one time $1500 payment towards tuition. It came in a separate envelope that had a return address that said Regent of U-M Merit Scholarship, about a week after admission packet arrived.</p>

<p>Is she In-state, or OOS? I know some qualified people, more so than me, that have not gotten any money yet.</p>

<p>i know. this is so unfair. it seems like a lot of people are getting money..and i still haven't heard anything yet. it seems like there's no way for me to get anything now ...although i don't know why. i wonder what they're basing the criteria for the scholarships on.</p>

<p>Congrats fredmar.</p>
