Scholarship Thread

<p>^Dammmnnn, it seems that LSA is pretty stingy with regards to scholarships compared to Engineering.:(</p>

<p>I e-mailed financial aid yesterday about multiple scholarships and they replied in the affirmative -- yes, a student can reveive more than one scholarship.</p>

<p>DS got letter today from LSA, awarding him $40,000 over 4 years from U of M college of LS and A! We are thrilled. Because he is in state, and already received the $1500 Regents (1yr only) this means next year he can go there for less than $10,000! </p>

<p>White male
In state
35 act
2300 sat
3rd in his class, small rural school
3.9 gpa--took latin online for 4 yrs and all AP courses available
great recs
good ECs--music related, but planning on pre med.</p>

<p>U of M is a great school. This is a fantastic opportunity. He's worked so hard for this so we are very proud!</p>

<p>Good job!</p>

<p>Where are you from in Michigan? Up north?</p>

<p>Yes, northwest lower peninsula.</p>

<p>You might even get more, because I remember that they used to give out scholarships based on where you are from in Michigan (sorta like where you are from in the country). I don't know if they still do that anymore.</p>

<p>my friend full tuition scholarship
act score 28
gpa 3.7 </p>

<p>oh and hes 1/2 mexican</p>

<p>SBDad, congratulations, that is so wonderful. You are the first I have heard to get the LS&A scholarship this year, which is very prestigious. So does that mean your son will go to Michigan, or are you still considering other schools?</p>

<p>Thank you. I'm really thrilled for him because he has worked very hard for this, like most here have.</p>

<p>Yes, it seems like a fairly sure thing.</p>

<p>Yes, the LSA scholarship is very prestigious, you should be really proud!</p>

<p>Congrats to your son SBDad! So good to see that his hard work paid off with such a wonderful award. Enjoy!</p>

<p>I just got $20,000/year a couple days ago...
LSA, not URM, 2360 SAT, female, OH, 4.0 UW</p>

<p>Great mochamaven!</p>

<p>I see you were accepted SCEA to Yale, so will you be heading there or off to Michigan?</p>

<p>I was thinking, if you get $20,000 per year as an OOS, then you still owe $20,000 per year ($40,000 total)- if you get $10,000 per year as in in-state, you owe $10,000 per year ($20,000 total). That's pretty tough on the OOS.</p>

<p>im hearing about kids getting 8,000/year for engineering. Does anyone know how those are being awarded and what you need to get that scholarship</p>

<p>It's mostly a stats-based thing. SAT/ACT/GPA. Haha, my Harvard interviewer badmouthed Michigan for this exact practice of "using computers too much". I agree. :)</p>

<p>is there any scholorships for eng?
Im out of state btw</p>

<p>I just spoke with a nice lady in the LSA Scholarship office who told me that all the LSA and Shipman scholars have been notified.</p>

<p>that's depressing... thanks for the info.</p>

<p>What a grim reaper SBDad is :D.</p>

<p>Thats kind of ... bad considering that the application deadline hasn't even passed.</p>
