2017-1-17 今天妹妹说她接到佐治亚理工发的信,让她参加2月11号在当地城市举办的佐治亚理工大学的Stamps Presidents Scholarship奖学金的初选面试。根据佐治亚理工大学网页的介绍,每年大概有300个左右(前1-2%) 被提前录取的 新生会收到这个奖学金的半决赛面试邀请, 再从中选出100人在3月10-11号到亚特兰大佐治亚大学校园参加复赛面试,最终会有40人被授予这项奖学金,其中来自佐治亚州内的学生20名,外州的学生也20名。 2014年共有12000名学生申请,参加半决赛的有583名,其中有47名被授予校长奖学金,10名Stamps领导奖学金。只有这10名Stamps奖学金获得者,才是一切免费。校长奖学金,大概只是免学费和住宿费。而且这个Stamps奖学金,自2006年在密执根大学和佐治亚理工最早开始,目前已扩展到全美41个大学有这个奖学金。 The first Stamps Scholars programs launched in 2006 at the University of Michigan and Georgia Tech. The program expanded in 2009 to include the University of Miami and in 2010 to include Barry University, California Institute of Technology, the University of Florida, the University of Illinois and the University of Virginia. The program has since grown to 41 schools across the country with more than 1,000 current and alumni Stamps Scholars. Georgia Residents Non-Georgia Residents Tuition $10,106 $30,904 Mandatory Student Fees $2,406 $2,406 Books Supplies (estimated) $800 $800 Freshman Housing Allowance $6,683 $6,683 Freshman Meal Plan Allowance $4,841 $4,841 Personal Expenses (estimated) $3,200 $3,200 Average Loan Costs $60 $60 Total Per Year (2 semesters) $28,096 $48,894 佐治亚理工大学在全美公立大学中排名第七。免除学费后大概还有万把块钱的生活花销,2017-18的学生花费州内学生超过两万八,外州学生接近四万九。没有校长或STAMPS奖学金,最好还是不要去读的好。 妹妹当初报佐治亚理工,就冲的这个奖学金去的,否则也是白费功夫。
