<p>i posted this in the scholarships and fin. aid forum but i figured parents would know a little bit more about this area considering you guys are the ones actually paying most of the time..</p>
<p>does anyone have any idea or experience with delawares academic scholarships? can anyone can tell me what gpa, sat, and such has been granted a 12,000 scholarship in the recent past? does my sister being a current student at delaware matter at all? thanks..</p>
<p>For what it's worth, three years ago, my son, an out-of-state applicant with a 3.5 unweighted (4.0 weighted) GPA and 1360 on the old SAT, was offered a merit scholarship at UDel for $6,000 per year (which would have brought the cost down to something close to the cost of attending an in-state school). He chose to go elsewhere.</p>
<p>thanks for the inpu. do u mind telling me why he chose to go elsewhere and where that elsewhere is? :)</p>
<p>University of Maryland at College Park. Better program in his major (computer science) and closer to home (we live in Maryland). He really liked the UDel campus and the people he met there, though. If UMCP had rejected him, he would have been happy to go to UDel.</p>
<p>well congrats maryland is a great school! im kinda torn, my sister attends delaware and i love it but i also hear great things about maryland and i heard they are very similiar. also, tons of kids from my school apply to both. wish i could get the in-state tuition to either tho:( hah</p>
<p>bumppppppppppp</p>
<p>my son had a 93 average, about a 1200 on SATs (he is not great at standardized tests) and he didnt receive any aid.</p>
<p>DD, OOS, had a 4.2 weighted, 1390 (2020 with the new) and didn't get a dime of merit aid. It seems like that unless you are the absolute top, if you're OOS you pretty much get nothing.</p>
<p>that is completely disheartening considering i have about a 94 w avg and a 1240 SAT. is it possible that because my sister is a current student there i could get aid for that?</p>
<p>I was out of state, 3.8ish, top 10%, 1540 SATs (old version).</p>
<p>I got $15,000/year, but did not attend.</p>
<p>garr!- how long ago did u apply? can i ask where you chose to attend..assuming you got a better deal than 15k/yr?</p>
<p>I applied 2 years ago (class of 2009).</p>
<p>I go to Dartmouth.</p>
<p>ook thanks.. wish my SATs were as high as yours..any suggestions for other merit generous schools?</p>
<p>senior 07, Did your sister get merit aid at UDel, and what were her stats? Also, she might be able to ask friends if they got any, as well as the stats needed to get it. Do you have any of this info through your sister, and/or her friends. If so, could you post? Thanks.</p>
<p>my sister was a recruited athlete so her circumstances were a bit difference but i totally forgot about asking her to ask her friends. thats def. a good idea considering 3 of her good friends go there as well!</p>
<p>They give you somewhere around $100 per sibling you have who goes there. I've got two; that's good for a couple textbooks, at least.</p>
