Scholarships

<p>Anyone get a scholarship from UT itself? I got the presidential tier II one in the mail today.</p>

<p>Is that their main scholarship? Wow, I haven't gotten anything yet. How much did they give you?</p>

<p>Man, I'm getting really worried that I will get nothing from UT and that it might force me to go elsewhere as I am getting 0 financial aid.</p>

<p>Are you in the top 10%?</p>

<p>Yea, is that a bad thing?</p>

<p>i was asking tracie</p>

<p>does one have to apply for their main scholarships?</p>

<p>Yeah the deadline was back in November.</p>

<p>Yeah I'm in the top 10%. I submitted the freshman scholarship application on December 1.</p>

<p>What were your stats, if you don't mind me asking?</p>

<p>ok, I did that. So applying for the freshman scholarship application also puts you into consideration to the departmental scholarships?</p>

<p>i think so. but i am in consideration for the terry scholarship as well. my financial situation isn't too great either. i'm only getting a $400 pell grant. my efc is about 3750. ranked 4/244. SAT 1260, ACT 29, hispanic, AP courses, good extracurriculars.</p>

<p>Got housing contract recently, sent them an email regarding this too but no response so far.</p>

<p>One of my friends got a scholarship, but it was a one time deal of $1,000.</p>

<p>I'm getting more worried now. They are sure taking their precious time.</p>

<p>***? We have a freaking December deadline so we get our decisions WAY after we chose where to go for school? That's just great UT . . .</p>

<p>Has anyone received anything new?</p>

<p>Nada. Zip. Nothing. Countdown 18 days before I have to . . .</p>
