I don't see this anywhere on the UAF website . . . can you provide a link, jellyman?

jellyman

sure. here it is.
Financial Aid Office | Scholarships

if you scroll down and click on the Merit Awards link, you will see:

UAF Nanook Gold Scholarship (merit)

Eligibility:
GPA: 4.0
ACT: 30 or SAT: 2000
Award amount:
Full tuition

I also had a quetion for OP. On the Louisiana State University(Baton Rogue) scholarship page, I couldn't find any full tuition scholarship for students with test scores of ACT 30. On your link it says "cain department of chemical engineering," does that mean you have to be a chemical engineering major if you want the scholarship?

dodgersmom

Aha - found it!

But it is available only to "a limited number of first-time freshmen and transfer students" - so it is a competitive award, rather than automatic. Unfortunately, doesn't belong in this thread. It would be helpful, though, if you added it here: Institutional Merit Based Scholarships (Full Tuition +)

mom2collegekids

You must apply to be considered
Passing grade in ChE 2171
3.0 GPA or above in ChE courses
3.0 Overall GPA
Minimum one semester at LSU
Full-time Chemical Engineering Major
U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident
Currently enrolled in ChE Course(s)


Yes, it does appear that the LSU scholarship is for Chem Eng'g majors only.

My son qualifies for the UA Scholars which is 2/3 tuition and also received the offer from College of Engineering for remaining portion. I know you must maintain a 3.0 GPA each semester to keep the full amount but is there a GPA requirement to keep the 2/3 tuition portion. I am concerned that there might be one hard semester in engineering and it would be a financial burden to have to pay the full out of state tuition.

jellyman

hi medialady do you know how he got the college of engineering scholarship? I couldn't find it in my scholarship application and I'm really confused on how the whole scholarship thing works. I have an ACT score of 30 and plan to major in engineering, which means free tuition and $2500 a year right? So how do I get this? I almost have my scholarship application finished but holding back on sending it in because of this.

dodgersmom

Jellyman - The scholarships listed in this thread are AUTOMATIC. That means that if you have the necessary GPA and test scores, and get your application in on time, you will be awarded the scholarship. No hoops to jump through, no special application to fill out. Just make sure that you indicate on your application that you are applying to the College of Engineering.

The scores you've indicated qualify you for free tuition at UA, but if you want a shot at the full ride that would potentially be available to you at UA-Huntsville, you should submit an application there also - even if you don't yet have the necessary scores. Apply now, test later - and you will automatically get the largest scholarship you're eligible for. (I believe you can test as late as June - and if those scores qualify you for a full ride, you'll get it.) But your application has to be in now - not later - for this to work.

media lady....Bama doesn't take away the scholarship if you have one "bad" semester. bama has a back up plan in place. First, the entire YEAR GPA is used (not one semester), then if still too low, then the following Fall's semester is another chance.

You get the two scholarships by getting your scholarship app in NOW. What the heck are you waiting for? Waiting is illogical. Get the scholarship app in and you'll get the two scholarships.

SEND IT IN. Sending the scholarship app in is FREE. Get it in!

The eng'g scholarship is NOT listed on the app, so don't look for it there. Just get the app IN.

For students enrolling as freshmen for the 2013-14 school year, UAH merit awards have indeed been drastically reduced.

For out-of-state students:

The awards no longer cover either full tuition or a full ride (tuition/ room/board/books/fees) as they have for the past several years.

For in-state students:

The highest merit award ($15,750) falls about $1,700 short of covering tuition/room/board/fees (not taking into account any cost increases for next year).

The second-highest merit award ($9,250) covers tuition, but falls a few hundred dollars short of also covering student fees (again, not taking into account any cost increases for next year).

You can compare to the costs of attendance for both in-state and out-of-state students here.

dodgersmom

In-state Costs (2012-13):
Tuition: $8,794
Fees: $741
Room/Board: $7,900
Books & Supplies: $1,592

In-state awards (2013-14):
GPA 4.0 & up & ACT 30-33 (SAT 1330-1480) --> $9,250
GPA 4.0 & up & ACT 34-36 (SAT 1490-1600) -> $15,750

UAH hasn't changed the wording for the NMF and NMSF scholarships, but they reference the old Silver scholarship that no longer exists....wonder if we'll see a change there too. Too bad, on paper UAH looked like a excellent match for my S.

dodgersmom

It's my understanding that the NMF scholarship at UAH is unchanged . . . and yes, they still call it the "Silver" scholarship. Don't know about the NMSF, though.

(Several additions/corrections included, most notably reduction of UA-Huntsville scholarship)

Updated comprehensive list sorted by state.

I have also attempted to calculate the residual cost of attendance (COA) given the scholarship award. NOTE, however, that this was calculated based on each individual college’s published Cost of Attendance, and these estimates may vary in how they are calculated and what costs are included.
