Arizona regents panel rejects change to scholarships
An Arizona Board of Regents committee on Thursday rejected another proposal by the three state universities to change a popular college scholarship program for high achievers.
The AIMS scholarships pay tuition and fees at the state's three public universities for high schoolstudents
who perform well on the standardized Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards test.
But the scholarships are costing too much and the universities want more discretion to funnel some of the money toward need-based scholarships. The award is a scholarship that equals the cost of tuition, renewable for up to four years.
An estimated 8,394 students received the AIMS scholarship in the 2009-10 school year, or about 8 percent of undergraduatestudents at Arizona State University, the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University.

ReplyDeleteyes. Florida A&M is a good school, located in Tallahassee, FL, towards the north of the state, kinda near the Georgia and Alabama borders. they specialize in agriculture and engineering, but have many other programs. Tallahassee is the state capital, and is a really nice town. talk to me more if you're curious about it...

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure of the GPA requirements, but you can check out the school web page to find that out, so start here: http://www.famu.edu/index.cfm?Admissions
ReplyDeleteYou have more than enough intelligence to get accepted, but you do have to have the good grades, AIMS, and SAT scores to prove it.
When you're ready to apply, I'd be happy to help you, and write a letter of recommendation, if you like...
