<p>WHAT ARE MY CHANCES FOR RECEIVING A SCHOLARSHIP?
Entering freshmen are evaluated for scholarships on the basis of the admissions application. There is no separate scholarship application. Scholarships are extremely competitive as students are ranked based on test scores and high school rank-in-class. Those who are offered an Academic Recruiting Scholarship, who are out-of-state residents may also be offered a companion Out-of-State Tuition Scholarship that covers part, or all, of the out-of-state tuition differential. Usually, recipients of Academic Recruiting Scholarships have an SAT score of at least 1350 (ACT 31) and rank in the top 10 percent of their senior class. Stipends range from $500 per year to the full cost of attendance. Recruiting scholarships (which are only available to entering freshmen) are renewable for three additional years provided that the minimum standards are maintained.</p>
<p>General University Scholarships are awarded to both entering freshmen and upperclassmen. To be considered for scholarships, upperclassmen must have a minimum cumulative GPR of at least 2.50. These scholarships may have special criteria set up by the donor, such as a certain residency, major or career interest. Because of the restrictions on some of these scholarships, it is impossible to predict the recipients. However, the scholarship selection process is very competitive. Stipends range from $250 to $7,500.</p>
<p>A list of all University scholarships and their criteria can be found on this web site (Scholarship Listing).</p>
<p>ah, I have a 1290 but am top 7 percent…I hope they make some sort of exception from the 1350…even a little money would be great</p>
<p>To give you some perspective… my son (currently a sophomore) received the OOS waiver, was accepted into the Honors College and received an additional $3000 in scholarship funds. Not a ton, but every little bit helps!
Note: there are also additional scholarship opportunities once you’re a student, which my son has been able to take advantage of. Basically, if you want to seek out sources of money you can do it, but it does require effort (and my understanding is that not many students apply.)</p>
