I just found mine this way. No email! Thanks.

How much is the Pegasus Gold for Non FL Resid. I found the website about it, but no dollar value.

Has anyone who was deferred heard back from the Honors College yet. I would hate to wait until April 15th, especially since I sent in additional materials.

107

I didn’t understand question . . . Are you deferred from the college, but you applied to Burnett? What happens on April 15?

Accepted into UCF but deferred from Burnett. They said decision comes on 15th but could come sooner if I sent in additional materials, which I did. Just wondering if anyone heard back

109

Does anyone know if Knights (for OOS) has been officially be discontinued? If so, do you know why?

110

Has anyone from out of state received Pegasus Silver or Bronze yet?

111

I think someone earlier in the thread received a Pegasus Gold from out of state? Someone correct me if I’m wrong lol. If you hadn’t received a scholarship, I think they do offer appeals if you think that your GPA/ test scores were high enough to qualify. Unfortunately they don’t put average stats for scholarships on their website, but I definitely don’t think it would hurt to look into the appeal process.

112

Yes, I have seen many posts on various social media of people receiving Pegasus Gold for out of state, but I have not yet seen anyone mention anywhere about receiving Silver or Bronze (for out of state), so I am holding out hope that they just have not distributed those yet. Or do they just not give out Silver and Bronze to out of state students?

113

I got the Pegasus gold scolarship. OOS

114

I got Pegasus Gold OOS as well. I have not seen anyone OOS posting that they got any other merit type (Silver, Bronze or Knights of Achievement - which might be discontinued). I believe that you can appeal for merit. Generally, it helps if you can bring some kind of academic increase (i.e. 1st semester grades that increases your GPA or higher SAT scores) to the table, as well as other merit offers from other schools. I wonder if they are waiting to see what happens with UF and FSU decisions that are coming out in the next couple weeks before they make additional merit offers. It is strange that only Gold offers have been made for OOS - whereas for in-state, all different levels have been released (bronze, silver, gold and Provost).

My son got accepted however, as a Canadian, his attending is totally dependent on finding out if he gets a tuition fee waiver (Florida-Canada Linkage). The catch is he won’t find out if he got it or not until July/August. This makes no sense since classes start in mid-late August. Essentially he needs to enroll in another option and then suddenly change plans if he gets it. It makes no sense. Anyone else had to deal with this or something similar?

It looks like merit appeals have been posted. Just have your kid check their portals (as they did not send email notifications).

117

Same situation here.

118

It makes no sense that they cannot make a decision by early May as this is a deal breaker cost wise for my son. And there is no real information on how many applications one is competing against. I don’t know how they expect a student to wait until July/August when there is so much planning needed ahead of time.

119

Just to update. The school confirmed they won’t have decisions until earliest July. It is totally “useless” for anyone who depends on it. So the ones who can stick out, can afford to pay the full fare anyway OR are going to “drop” another school at the last minute.
