Scholarship question. My son got the Classic Scholars Award, which is a 50 percent waiver of the OOS fee. Realistically this isn’t going to work for us, as he has a couple of tuition-free options. I know that he could still get the Ramsey or Fellowship, but realistically if he were in the running for these I would guess he would have gotten a full OOS waiver. FWIW, he has great stats, 35 ACT, 3.94/4.3 g.p.a., but weak leadership or community service.

Is the Classic Scholars Award ever increased for those not qualifying for Ramsey/Fellowship? My son is really interested in UGA, but as a parent I’ve got to look at the bottom line.
