for university issued scholarships like trustee, provost, or president, basically you’re at the mercy of your adcom. he or she determines the size of your award based on your financial status, your grades, how interested you are in the college (that’s why I strongly encourage those who really wanna come here to either get an interview with an adcom or visit here), and finally, how much the college “needs” you. No offense, but if you’re from some faraway state like texas or alaska or wyoming (just making up names as I go), that would give you a “geographical advantage”. Most colleges try to advertise as what they call geographically diverse so where you’re from (at least I think) played a role. e.g. I was from Texas, and I know at least one other person from Texas who got scholarships.

But yes, your grades do matter first. like for my sat i got 2000. 780 math IIc and 740 chem. 33 on the ACT. and I took a lot of AP courses. and went to the session when my adcom came to Houston.
