Stamps Leadership Scholarship
University of Miami (Coral Gables, Florida)
4 years full cost of attendance plus $12,000 stipend
includes everything (tuition, room and board, meal plan, transportation to and from college, study abroad, unpaid internships, even personal expenses!)

The Stamps Scholarship is a wonderful program relatively new to the University of Miami. It can be awarded based on either academic merit or musical performance. If you're invited based on academic merit, there is a weekend on campus to interview. Finalists later interview with Mr. Stamps. I believe musicians have an audition.

The 2011-2012 school year will be the first year with academic Stamps' scholars. I received this scholarship and would be happy to answer any questions, as I will be attending UM.

I strongly encourage you to look into UM and apply. It uses the Common App and has no additional essays or anything.

Miami has some wonderful programs, such as Foote Fellows. If you are a Foote Fellow, you have no general requirements outside of your major. I cannot even tell you how wonderful this is, as you can truly take what interests you.

Miami accepts significant amounts of AP credit and dual enrollment classes. For instance, a 5 on AP Biology gives you 10 credit hours (2/3 of a semester!). This opens up lots of space in your schedule to pursue what interests you.

Miami is a wonderful, private university in Florida. It is actually located in Coral Gables, which is a wonderful area that is safe and has cute shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Miami is currently ranked 47th in the U.S., and it's ranking is on the rise!

I wish you luck if you decide to apply! It's great to be a Cane!

2010-11 was the 1st year, they accepted 10 students
2011-12 is about to confirm applicants, lots more room (think 30?)

Full ride merit based, includes room and board stipend (1st year S's must board on campus, thereafter they can use allowance towards appartment/shared house) It also includes all campus food, all books, and a generous stipend for personal expenses. It will pay for overseas summer learning after Freshman year, transportation, and other perks.

Highly competitive, open to out od state students, 99% are Valedictorian AND national merit students.

Yet, if you did your work in high school, believe in yourself and try. The 1% that is there didn't give up :-)
