<p>My DS did not make the cut for the FF/Bernard Ramsey Scholarships. I was curious as to the other scholarship opportunities at UGA. He is in state and should be valedictorian so HOPE should definitely cover tuition. He applied RD and I wonder what are the odds of getting a presidential scholarship? Or another? I know the charter is possible but I believe there's a 2000.00 (on top of HOPE) scholarship for top GA students. Also, does UGA allow give more than one scholarship, i.e. charter + presidential? Just curious. Thanks for any information you can provide.</p>
<p>I know I’ve read (somewhere) that if you receive a higher amount UGA scholarship it would replace the lesser amount UGA scholarship. I’m sure that you must have looked at the UGA page on scholarships: <a href=“https://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/scholarships-at-uga.html[/url]”>https://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/scholarships-at-uga.html</a>
They don’t release anything about the presidential scholarships until (I think August-I guess after everyone has accepted them). The two from last year at our school received them early. I knew of only one Charter that was given later. Best to check with the admissions. This is from the scholarship page: First-year students must submit their admissions application to UGA by December 15 to receive priority consideration for scholarships.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply! I have looked at the scholarship page and your answer lines up with my limited interpretation. We definitely had our application in by December 15th so I guess we’ll just wait and see if he’s accepted and what (if any) scholarships are offered. Thanks again for the help!</p>
<p>@ jamdad-
have you checked your ds status page. Last year my s also applied for ff. We were auto admitted but got no other scholarship info until january. The same week that the ff emails went out, we checked the status page and under the scholarship awarded page it listed the presidential scholarship for $3000. About a week later he got a letter stating that although he did not make the ff cut, based on his strong application to ff he was being awarded the presidential scholarship. Good luck!</p>
<p>No, we haven’t checked the status page. Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll keep an eye on it moving forward. Thanks again for your real life illustration and help!!</p>
<p>congrats jon drums. Of course my s was very disappointed about ff, but we and his counselor did explain to him that this was still quite an honor because only 55 letters went out to ff/bernard ramsey and only 45 get offered presidential, and since there were over 900 ff applicants that puts you near the top of the whole applicant pool and in the top 100 of all entering freshman. So I send the same message to you and congrats. Are you doing Meyers. My s loved it.</p>
<p>Same situation as Jon. Didn’t make it for FF, but was awarded Presidential Leadership last week. It just shows up in the bottom right corner of your account (myStatus), no email. In response to jamdad, the letter I got in the mail says that the Presidential will replace all other scholarships, so that you only get the highest amount (no combination). To anyone that didn’t make it for FF, just wait it out, have until May (I think) to be awarded scholarships.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when scholarship decisions go out if you applied by December 15th? Would I know before the deposit deadline because I really want to go to UGA but a scholarship with in state tuition from South Carolina could be hard to turn down if it doesn’t look like I’m getting any money from Georgia.
-PS I’m from NJ so I would have normally paid out of state tuiton to both schools</p>
