<p>Out of state girl in engineering, 34 ACT, 4.0 UW/4.33 W, solid essays and extracurriculars, but nothing here...
Did anyone get merit scholarships?</p>
<p>Received one on March 23rd from College of Engineering. In state, 35 ACT, 3.8/5.0 GPA, lots of science/math/music ECs, some national awards, white male, accepted to the Honor’s Program, no financial need. Did not fill out any additional scholarship applications, if they exist.</p>
<p>I would expect a girl with your stats to get one but I really have no idea how scholarships work at NC State as nothing is publicized like other universities and with the budget problems, who knows. Maybe in state gets priority? </p>
<p>I hope you get one. Good luck!</p>
<p>The office of Scholarships & Financial Aid told me that they only gave out 20 or 30 merit scholarships to incoming freshmen. This is concerning that a university of this size doesn’t have the funds. The Chancellor stated that they have a low endowment fund and other universities have more than double what NC State has. So consider yourself lucky if you got a scholarship.</p>
<p>Engineers must be tight with their money.</p>
<p>Wow. 20-30? I know the UNC system is going through some serious budget cuts.</p>
<p>Has anybody heard back from the Goodnight Scholarship yet?</p>
<p>I posted on a diff. thread about this but be sure to check the webpage of your major dept. for possible scholarships you can apply for.</p>
<p>Son is In-State, applied for Engineering incoming freshman
Received a small merit scholarship (750.00) from engineering dept, renewable each year.</p>
<p>I think what made the difference here is that we took son to the engineering dept for a tour and requested a meeting with the dept head. Just a theory??</p>
<p>Also received 4 different grants, (total 5200.00) need-based. EFC is not zero btw.</p>
<p>Applied for Georgia Tech, accepted with 10,000 Merit Scholarship but OOS tuition is the killer.
We were more impressed with State’s Engineering Facility anyway.</p>
