@Gator88NE I was referring primarily to OOS merit awards for myself (not a valedictorian) and @FINKELLY also stated OOS. I also didn’t mean specifically valedictorian but valedictorian strong like candidate. Typically a candidate like that in NY can get a very good private school tuition merit aid and will be unlikely to attend an OOS state school even as strong as UF.
I’m curious as to your assertion that the president is trying to increase OOS students. How is that being done ? Hopefully it means a little pocket money for us OOS.
