Hey guys,

I'm not sure how much anyone here will know about University scholarships, but I'm going to ask anyways.

For University, I know there are full scholarships available for students.

I was thinking about going to school in the US.  I know they have full scholarship opportunities there.  My question is:  What is the criteria exactly to earn one?


Also, I was wondering if there were full scholarship opportunities in England or Ireland - as those are two other places that I would be interested in going to school.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

I'm Valedictorian of my school...going to the University of West Georgia, and if I were to live on campus, my tuition and everything would be paid for. I had a 4.15 GPA.

I think as long as you have a high average, a high need, and have shown that you are on top of things, extracurriculars, maybe a job, you will get one. Just depends on the college and everything.

The private, smaller colleges are very good about giving full scholarships. In my experience with them, most students must have a minimum GPA of 3.2, and SAT score (reading/math) of 1000, or an ACT score of 20. Of course, the more competitive the school and the higher your stats are, the more offers you will receive. You may want to google 'guaranteed scholarships' to start your search.
