Check out Howard’s web site on Financial Aid. My daughter initally recieved a Capstone scholarship, which was based on SAT=1300 - 1390 or ACT = 29 - 31 PA ≥ 3.25. This included Tuition, Fees, and Room and requires maintaining a 3.0 gpa.

After she became a National Achievement Finalist, the scholarship bumped up to Laureate which is based on National Achievement Finalist Scholars who designate Howard as their First Choice. This includes tuition, fees, room and board and $950 book allowance and requires maintaining a 3.3 gpa.

That being said, there are other flavors of scholarships.

Now once there, Howard had a welcome ceremony for incoming freshman scholarhsip winners. It was published that 25% of the incoming class of 1700 recieved scholarships. However, as I look through the program, it looks like more than 425 students recieved scholarships lol. The young women stay in the newest dorm. Kinda nice.

She also received an invitation to the Honors program, which she took advantage of and has even more opportunities.

Finally, you ask…does she like it? The answer is a big resounding yes. She is happy and thriving.

One word of caution. Make sure you visit to make sure this is the right choice for you.

Good luck
