<p>I got this too. Is this the best scholarship? I thought there was a full ride?</p>

7

<p>theman44, there is a Singer scholarship (full tuition). You have to interview for it, and I think that they are sending the interview invites separately from the scholarship package. Not 100% sure though.</p>

8

<p>Did the scholarship letters come in the acceptance packet? I got my acceptance letter/folder but nothing about scholarships :/</p>

9

<p>Yeah I didn’t get anything about a scholarship in my acceptance either :(</p>

10

<p>I got the university scholarship too(:</p>

11

<p>so if you received a certificate for a university scholarship, does that mean you cannot still get an invite for the singer interview??</p>

12

<p>I called admissions and they said that Singer invites are coming separately sometime within the next week. I hope I get an invite because I got the University Scholarship (yay!) too, so I would think that makes me competitive for a Singer, or at least a few extra g’s of merit money. Either way, I’m super excited to be a 'Cane!</p>

13

<p>Hpw did you all find out about the scholarship? Did you get to see it on cane? or was it a mail?</p>

14

<p>@satacer: everyone that found out about scholarships found out in their letter, not online. singer invites are coming out later tho</p>

15

<p>I got the Dickinson scholarship which is worth 20k, right underneath the 24k, so does this mean that we wont be able to recieve a Singer invite?</p>

16

<p>I got the university scholarship with a 35 ACT, 2210 SAT, 4.74 GPA, valedictorian, good recs & ECs. nothing about Singer in the packet. </p>

<p>When I went to visit Miami, they said that roughly 300 people who receive 24,000 will be invited to compete for Singer; so I do not think that someone who receives 20,000 will be invited. But I could be wrong</p>

17

<p>So are all scholarship offers out? I know USC sends out its top two scholarships with acceptances, but other scholarships offer go out at a later date. Does anyone know how Miami works?</p>

18

<p>I believe that all scholarships come with your acceptance letter. If you do not have a certificate in your packet, then unfortunately you will not receive a scholarship.</p>

<p>Miami has become extremely competitive in the last few years and attracts top students as you can see by the acceptance thread. I also think (but have no evidence) that they try to spread these scholarships across all categories (geopraphic, demographic, and major).</p>

<p>I have seen adcoms state that students that received scholarships more than five years ago would now have a hard time even getting into Miami.</p>

19

<p>I’m an international student, and I’ve been admitted to UM with $24k University Scholarship. So, will I be eligible to other scholarships when studying at UM ?</p>
