My S1 is in the process of applying to UIUC and we are wondering how tough it is to get the Provost Scholarship.

His SAT score is CR 740; M: 790 and W: 780 and his ACT composite score is 35. He has solid unweighted and weighted GPAs plus he is national merit scholarship semifinalist and AP scholar with Distinction etc.

Here are the questions:

1. What is the Provost Scholarship based on? Is it primarily based on SAT/ACT/GPA? What are the cut off scores?

2. Besides the Provost Scholarship and the national merit scholarship ($500/year), is there any other merit scholarship UIUC offers?

3. Does the Provost Scholarship take into account of whether you are in-state or out of state student?

4. For those of students who got Provost Scholarship, congratulations! What were your SAT/ACT scores?

Thanks in advance!
