Every year since I started paying attention to UA back in 2010 there has been some angst on the part of folks here on CC that the stats required for the various guaranteed scholarships, or the scholarships themselves, would change. There have been some tweaks in the guaranteed scholarships, and the NMF scholarship has changed some (the class that entered in 2012 was the last to receive 4 years of housing, and a 5th year of scholarship was added at some point). In all that time the Presidential has remained pretty constant. This is the first year that I have heard a lot of buzz about potential changes, so I’m thinking it’s possible that this is the year there are bigger changes. (FWIW, the buzz I’ve heard has been from parents, NOT from anyone in the know at UA, although I don’t know where other parents are getting their info). I don’t know if anyone knows for sure whether there will be changes and what they’ll be. I believe changes, if there are to be any, are usually made in July. If I had a student who was going to apply next year and they were on the cusp (say a 32 for the Presidential), I’d probably have them test again and try to raise the score, although there will be time for that in the fall once any new requirements are known.
