Woodrow Scholarship

<p>Does a 1230 on the SAT qualify me for this? I saw somewhere that it requires a 1200 or higher and in another place I saw that scholarships require 1250 or higher so I'm not sure which one I should believe. The Woodrow Scholarship would be a significant help for me.</p>

<p>The scholarship brochure I recieved from USC says 1250. You’re really close though, so I wouldn’t be too worried about it :)</p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>

<p>Thanks hopefully i can get it</p>

<p>i have a 1280 but haven’t heard anything</p>

<p>^They haven’t released scholarships yet.</p>

<p>When do they send out notifications for scholarships?</p>

<p>Hi, I was wondering if you can recieve the scholarship even if your SAT score is lower than the average (1200). My SAT score is 1160, but my GPA is 4.89</p>

<p>anyone heard about woodrow or mckissick scholarships??</p>

<p>They’re not sending out scholarship notifications (other than McNair/Carolina) until the end of Feb, beginning of March. My mom talked to someone in the office, and that’s what they told her.</p>

<p>Received the Woodrow in today’s mail. Can’t make Scholar’s Day- live in NJ</p>

<p>deb09-- are you in state or OOS? and what are your stats?</p>

<p>Got my woodrow a few days ago. In virginia. 3.79 GPA and 1240 SAT</p>

<p>amandacollege, did you get the Woodrow Scholarship?</p>

<p>Are you an in-state our out-of-state student? If you are an out of state student, what it means is that you get the award you listed plus significant tuition reduction. The USC website has a listing of all the scholarships and how they are administered. Just look under the financial aid tab and click the link on the left for scholarships. It should tell you everything you need to know there.</p>

<p>I did not get the Woodrow, but I received the Sims Scholarship. I don’t know what to say because this is a significant reduction and would help my family tremendously, but I already enrolled in Alabama. This is tearing me apart because I really wanted to go there but this scholarship basically towers over the scholarship I received from Alabama. I might end up going to South Carolina now because this would help my family out a lot, but damn this is hard. I really did not think I was going to get a scholarship there.</p>

<p>I haven’t even received my admissions decision yet from South Carolina…ugh! Can you log into VIP now?</p>

<p>Congratulations to you!</p>
