| RIT has a Computing Medal, which comes with a $3,000/year award should one decide to attend. Looking for excellence/awards in computer science, along with grades/leadership. The school nominates 1-2 students for the award *junior year.* There is minimal paperwork to complete. The award came by the end of that year. No minimum grades or SATs that I am aware of.
Not all schools participate in this -- might be worth it to check with one's GC or to contact RIT to see how to get the school involved in this program. |
