My daughter received the notice re Banneker Key in Feb. last year (letter dated Feb. 5th) She was in-state, around 3.95 UW GPA & 4.63 weighted, at at least 7 AP’s & the rest honor classes, varsity softball 4 years, Captain of the team for 2 years, National Merit Commended. She ended up receiving a full-ride (we did not apply & do not qualify for any financial aid). My daughter, one of her best friends at at least 4 or 5 other kids received either the full or partial Banneker Key Scholarship from her HS. It was totally unexpected that she received it. She ended up turning it down to go to UMich. Good luck!
