Hi, reading through all this I am still confused.
I am going to the University of Miami this fall with scholarships from UM, plus NM college sponsored scholarship, plus BF, plus Benacquisto.
However, I know the NM scholarship and the BF will be negated out of the Benacquisto amount, which at this point I was told hasn’t been determined, but last year the amount of slightly over 23K which equated to the highest tuition of the public schools which was FIU.
So will the increase of the BF affect me in any way? Since there is no way the BF will exceed Benacquisto so it will always get cancelled out?
I still don’t quite understand the rationale for having the OOS Benacquisto for one year. Why bother? Are there OOS students entering college this year would have been attracted to the possible Benacquisto back in Oct/Nov/Dec application timeline knowing it may be a go or no go and it may be only for one year?
I am also looking to see if there is any guarantees that the Benacquisto Scholarship will be carried for the next four years or is that also in doubt?
