Scholarships

Generally that you are UHC Eligible. UHC Eligibility requires 1400 M+CR SAT or 32+ Math/English ACT, and top 5% of their graduating class (less strict on that one). Depending on her GPA (is that 3.8 weighted or unweighted) and her difficulty of class schedule, it seems like she would be eligible for the UHC upon admission.

Keep in mind that applications for scholarships were accepted up until a few weeks ago (Jan. 15) and that the scholarship committee does NOT meet daily. They have a lot of applications to look through in order to spread out the money they have. You can hear about scholarships up until March 1, so there is still almost 3.5 weeks of waiting to be had.

Keep in mind a lot of other factors go into who gets what scholarship (if any) such as: State of residence, gender, intended major, ethnicity, “hook” factors (interesting ECs, etc.). There seems to be a limitation on the number of scholarships given per state (ex. 15 people from VA can get a full tuition and 10 get a half, but if 30 excellent students from VA are in the pool, 5 will get shafted) although this has never been confirmed.

I will say this: it is probably easier to get money if you are OOS (particularly if you are from a farther away state) and/or a minority. Major does affect it too (SSOE has engineering-specific scholarships they give on top of the UHC ones, for example).

Feel free to contact admissions or OAFA to see where your daughters application stands in terms of scholarship review.
