My son is in Civil Engineering at State and in his 4.5 year. Of course his scholarship was only good for 4 years and he will graduate this December. I was wondering if anyone here on the Pack knows if there's anyway of extending the scholarship for another semester or having the amount reduced somewhat. He has like a 3.5 GPA so I wasn't sure if good grades give him any advantage for an additional semester. It's $8,000 for this one semester as it stands cause we live out of state.

Signed HELP.

for different academic things, but they were only good for four years. No idea if it's the case, and I assume it's partially dependent on the scholarships themselves. The one good thing was if you take less than a full schedule it costs less. I only had 6 hours left, so it wasn't that bad. I think I took 3 and 3 over two semesters, and worked basically full time managing a restaurant, just to enjoy that extra year.

and lives off campus, then you might want to look into declaring him as "independent." You'll have to do things like buy an Oktibbeha County tag, but you'll get in-state tuition.

Have you entertained the idea of writing a letter of extension? Isn't it possible to write a letter to the board asking for an extension on his scholarship to the university? I would think directly inquiring to the institution on procedures like this wouldn't fall on deaf ears especially if excels or have been doing well.

Just a thought

Which would give him ~5500 for the "2012-2013" calendar year but he could simply apply it towards only one semester.

I was planning on going to med school (yeah, I know). And I didn't want to lose my instate residency to apply at UNC, so I had to keep my NC residency. So if your kid is planning on applying somewhere as instate, you should keep that in mind.
