University at Buffalo 2020

@Jurry123, you’re right. There is very little on the UBIT. I think you should wait another week for the scholarship before calling…

@motortrend Thank you ! and hey did you fill out the FAFSA?
do public universities give money from their endowment fund too or is it just pell grants ?

@Jurry123 my older siblings never received any need based aid from the public schools except for federal loans. But I think if your income is very low they may give you some It’s not much though I have to still do the fafsa

I applied on November 9th and haven’t heard absolutely anything haha

@angelacgeorge what major did you apply to ?

@motortrend I honestly can’t remember, I want to say it was either undecided or Biomedical sciences

Received a letter today in the mail saying that I have been awarded the provost scholarship for $12,000/year. I’m still not sure if Buffalo is where I’ll end up going, though.

@kingx16 would you mind sharing your stats like gpa and test scores?

So I got accepted to UB and got the letter in the mail for the Provost scholarship and everything but when I go to check any financial aid information on the website it says there is none available… I am definitely going to need financial aid and my friends who applied as well all got emails or letters (not sure which exactly) giving them an estimate of how much money UB may give them… I haven’t filled out the FAFSA yet so is that why I haven’t gotten anything? Planning on doing it sometime this week since it has to be in by March 1st

@chi1998 these are my stats
OOS
3.77/3.87 GPA
29 ACT
didn’t take SAT
2 APs
Rank: 19/174

@kingx16 Are you OOS ? Given tuition for in state is pretty low, are you sure that is per year ?
My S got a $10k merit scholarship, but spread out over 4 years. Considering tuition/fees are about $8k
how do you get a $12k per year scholarship ? Either you are OOS or it covers R&B ?

I believe max provost for OOS is $12000/yr and in state is $5000/yr

@blevine Yes, I am OOS (it was actually the first thing I mentioned when I mentioned my stats, haha). The letter said it was $12,000 a year, $48,000 total for all four years.

@motortrend from where did you hear this from?

@chi1998 it has it on the school web site. I’ve also seen it in several places on the forum.

We were told the same about provost $5000 in state , $12000 OOS Max per year. There are also full ride presidential scholarships that you need to be invited to apply to.

^^^ This makes me a lot better. Lol. I felt really bad for only getting $5000/year ($10000 over 4 years). I thought $5000 is the lowest for in state student. Don’t you guys think it is too low tho?

@HelloEveryone27 well in state tuition is $6,470 so it definitely is covering a large sum of money

Hey Guys! Im planning on starting a group me for the class of 2020… message me if you want to be added :slight_smile:

Anyone else get into UB honors?
