What is the best scholarship you got?

<p>I was awarded the University Freshman Scholarship worth $12,000 scholarship from FSU for 4 years. Is this the best?</p>

<p>Can you please tell me how you found out scholarship info? thanks!</p>

<p>It automatically directed me to a website where it lists your address, sat scores etc.</p>

<p>The web said that University Freshman scholarship is worth $9600 ??</p>

<p>telecom you are right.</p>

<p>i got the 21st century scholarship for 8,000. i’m so excited!</p>

<p>So is there a 12k scholarship or just the 9,600 one? I got the latter but I was just wondering.</p>

<p>I don’t see any $12,000 scholarship. Better reread your offer!</p>

<p>From the FSU website: </p>

<li>Each eligible student may receive only one of the noted merit-based Admission scholarships. Because these scholarships are limited in number, students should be admitted by January 1 for full consideration.</li>

<p>Yeah, the 24k one is the biggest. I’d know ;)</p>

<p>So, son got email that his scholarship was upgraded. Is that common?</p>

<p>What was it upgraded from? </p>

<p>Is it a different scholarship type?</p>

<p>What are they offering now?</p>

<p>Were there new scores or grades submitted?</p>

<p>Very odd. On closer look, it is the same scholarship he was initially offered ($9600) The email said “based on new information your scholarship has been upgraded” but there was no new information.</p>

<p>I also got the 9600 (university freshmen) I am in honors</p>
