[> [> Subject: They are chosen based upon the high school transcripts they provide. They are offered full tuition, but still have to pay their own room and board. Troy is not a very competitive college academically, and as far as I know none of the prior winners have actually chosen to attend.

I believe that the Scholastic Excellence Award considers GPA only, while Outstanding Achievement in Academic Life is for GPA combined with SAT scores and strength of resume. Troy scholarships are based on transcripts and SAT scores and are consistent with the University's scholarship guidelines for all students. That's probably why there are different numbers of winners from MAOT every year: 1 in '07; 5 in '08 and 3 in '09. The AU scholarship is new this year.

Author: Anonymous [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sunday, August 16, 07:53am Is there scholarship money to the winner and runners up other than the Auburn 4 yr scholarship to the winner and why wouldn't the runners up get the Troy scholarship? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
