Chances for scholarship

Although I went to UMiami about 30 years ago, there was a full scholarship offered at that time. There were a limited number, though, and even though I met the requirements, those with higher stats than mine got one, because of the limit. I was able to get the half tuition scholarship, which basically paid a third of my fees, with dorms being the same as half of the tuition back then.

My nephew was offered the two thirds scholarship not long ago, and he was in the top 10 percent, maybe even 5, of his high school class, and a national merit scholar. Unfortunately, his parents couldn’t afford the difference, so he could not attend.

I will say this, though. It was a wonderful university when I went there, and I recently met a doctor who attended there 20 years before me. We reminisced about common professors we had and the beauty of the campus and the excellence of the academics.

I wish you much luck and hope you have the opportunity to attend there.
