^^^ im not sure how to delete but that was for the wrong university, im so sorry
fanofthemcu—I was going to say! I work at UF and my kid isn’t getting free tuition! Lucky you to get it at your school. 
@LakeAlto not a peep heard here yet
I have a Lombardi Scholarship question. I looked on the honors.ufl.edu website and on the Lombardi FAQ’s section it says this: “Nominees will be contacted via email regarding telephone conversations in late February.” Well, tomorrow is the last day of February. If someone has gotten a email regarding interviews for the Lombardi Scholarship, can you let this group know? It’s a little unclear to me if my daughter is already out of the running or if emails have just not been sent yet.
@Melissa96 - I am sorry to bother you but I’m hoping you can answer my questions. Have the emails gone out regarding the Lombardi interviews? The honors.ufl.edu website states the emails will go out by the end of February, which is today. It’s unclear to me if my daughter is already “out of the running” for the Lombardi/Stamps program or if the emails regarding the phone interviews haven’t gone out yet. Thank you in advance your your reply.
Update: email received tonight! Whew.
@LakeAlto - I’m so glad, Good luck to her
@Melissa96 does everyone who applied for the Lombardi get the phone interview or only select students?
@partyoffivemom - only select students get the phone interview
@Melissa96 Do you know approximately how many there were to start and how many there are now to reach this stage before the final 11 or so are chosen?
@moscott - sorry I do not know that.
Has anyone actually seen the Benacquisto show up on their financial aid page?
We haven’t. The financial aid office told me that first the UF scholarship would be posted to the page and then the Benacquisto would show up about a week after that. She said that it is all usually posted by May 1, so there might not be anything posted in March at all.
@negsplits18 - It should be soon the first list just recently arrived.
@mountainmomof3 Just wanted to let you know what Jessica E. Roth told me via the phone. She said that the student can still be offered the OOS Benacquisto after receiving the Gator Nation scholarship. And that even though they do not stack the student should accept both the Gator Nation and the Benacquisto scholarship once they both post to the portal (and the National Merit Scholarship sponsored by UF) and that UF will understand that the acceptance of the Gator Nation is just as a back up incase something should (i guess she means future wise) fall through with the state sponsored OOS Benacquisto, and that this in no way will negate or effect the coverage provided by the OOS Benacquisto. Did she mention anything like this to you, if so was it in writing or over the phone? Only ask cause she specifically said that she has been recommending this to other students in the same situation. I’m almost tempted to have her email me this recommendation so I have it in writing, do you think I should do that or is just having her word over the phone enough?
Thanks @Melissa96 that is in line with what I was told when I called sfa this week. They said NMSC starts sending rosters to first choice schools on March 1 and the pages will be updated as the info is received.
@Melissa96 Will UF Presidential award + Honors Research scholar award + Benacquisto stack for Florida instate students or max out with only the Benacquisto award.
could you tell me what were his stats?
could i know his stats?
