SCHOLARSHIPS I got one today!

<p>Hey guys a lot of people have been asking about the scholarships and I just wanted to let you all know I got the Pegasus Gold Scholarship =)</p>

<p>It came in the mail today in is for $12,000!</p>

<p>Congratulations! I did too for the $12k.</p>

<p>I recieved a scholarship from UCF today too…except I’ve never heard about it before. It’s called the Provost Scholarship, and it’s $20,000… Anyone ever recieved that before?? Because I thought the most you could get was the Gold Pegasus. Obviously, I’m happy with whatever this is :D</p>

<p>what were you guys stats?</p>

<p>Okay well my stats are:</p>

<p>4.7 weighted gpa
1320/1600 SAT
31/36 comp ACT</p>

<p>lots of community service, I don’t know if that matters for this ?</p>

<p>My stats:
Sat: 1440/2150
Act: 30
Ucf calculated gpa: 4.6ish
7 ap classes with 5s on the ones I’ve taken already (my school only offers 9 AP so that’s almost the maximum)</p>

<p>Somewhat weak ECs but this is an academic merit scholarship so I assume only grades, workload, and scores matter.</p>

<p>S looked online and he was awarded silver award. Does anyone know how much the 2011 scholarship is? Can’t locate any info online. His stats 3.8 UW/4.1W GPA, ACT 28</p>

<p>sd1799 - are you a graduate student? The info I found online indicates its a $10K per year scholarship for top level graduate students. Congrats!!!</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone! :slight_smile: Where online, I’m assuming on myUCF, will it have these listed?</p>

<p>Yes, when you log into MYUCF, in the Student self service scroll to Undergraduate Admissions section. If you’ve been awarded a scholarship, you’ll have a “Scholarship Status” link.</p>

<p>I got the Pegasus Gold one too…but for $30,000 because I haven’t done the in-state residency form. So once I become in-state, I’ll lose $18,000, lol.</p>

<p>Speaking of which, all I have to do to claim in-state tuition is submit that form (<a href=“https://admissions.ucf.edu/secure/secure/flresidency.asp[/url]”>https://admissions.ucf.edu/secure/secure/flresidency.asp&lt;/a&gt;) on their website that asks for your driver license info, dependence status and Social Security number?</p>

<p>LBJRomMom- No, I’m an incoming undergraduate. I showed my guidance counselor the letter and she said it must be a new scholarship because she has never seen it before (the highest award has always been pegasus gold). I can’t find any information on it online (besides that scholarship for graduates you mentioned). Thanks though!</p>

<p>Yeah, I received the Provost scholarship a few days ago too. The interwebs say nothing about it though.</p>

<p>My friend’s son also received the new Provost Scholarship. I had never heard of that one before either. He also had over a 1400/1600 SAT and is ranked in the top 3% of his HS and took lots of AP classes.</p>

<p>How do I accept my scholarship on myucf?</p>

<p>KervinsS23 just log onto myUCF and scroll down to where it says undergraduate admissions and click on scholarship status. You can accept it there. </p>

<p>Also, I wasn’t aware they raised the Pegasus Gold! That’s good considering the rising cost of tuition. I’m currently a sophomore at UCF and when I was accepted for Fall 2009 the Pegasus Gold was only $10,000.</p>

<p>Alright thanks!</p>

<p>BTW when I get there how do I use this? It the money just automatically deducted for the tuition or can I use for books and stuff?</p>

<p>Kervin - log into MYUCF, in the Student self service scroll to Undergraduate Admissions section, click the “Scholarship Status” link 3/4 way down the page. You can accept, decline or pend. Congratulations!</p>
