<p>Does DU give a lot of merit based scholarships. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what my chances would be of recieving a large scholarship from DU with an ACT score of 30 and a class rank of 1/309</p>
<p>yes they do.</p>
<p>If you check the DU webiste there will be information on the scores/grades needed for automatic merit money.</p>
<p>For awards ranging between $9000 and $18,000:
</p>
<p>They also give very generous scholarships for study abroad through the Cherrington program even if you don’t receive other merit money or financial aid.</p>
<p>My son is on his Cherrington study abroad this fall. he is contacting DU to see if Cherrington will fund an additional study abroad experience for him.</p>
<p>Your son probably will get a scholarship. A lot of the people I know got big scholarships, including myself. What’s his major? There are further scholarships for some departments, like music and theatre.</p>
<p>idad,
Where did you find the specific criteria for the scholarship awards? I see the award categories, but can’t find the stats required. My S was accepted and got the Pioneer award, but I think we may try to negotiate for more; it would help to know the criteria.</p>
