I’m pre-med with a focus in health & nutrition possibly, but not sure yet. I don’t need a certain amount of money, so I can go no matter what (even if I got no scholarships at all), but I want to go to medical school, so my goal is to save as much money as possible during undergrad. I’m just trying to get as much money as possible so I will have little debt from med school (assuming I get accepted to med school). I won’t receive any federal aid, but I wasn’t expecting to.
I saw that I qualified for these 2 scholarships:
ALUMNI HONORS SCHOLARSHIP — four-year scholarship awarded to entering freshmen; minimum 28 ACT, 1250 SAT (critical reading and math scores only) and 3.0 GPA; $8,000 per academic year.
ALUMNI LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP — freshman year only awarded to entering freshmen; demonstrated leadership, volunteerism, community activity; minimum 24 ACT, 1090 SAT (critical reading and math scores only) and 3.0 GPA; $6,000 for the freshman year only.
Is anyone familiar with them? Do you have to be majorly in need of aid to be considered, or is it just based on merit?
Also, if I receive local scholarships, will UA stack those, too? I believe I can set off the cost of tuition by at least $3,000 from local scholarships.
