Scholarship from the college?

Question

I have a 4.0 UNWEIGHTED gpa and I am in many clubs such as Beta, National Spanish Honors Society, and Habitat. I am hoping for a full scholarship from the university I plan to attend,and I have a good chance at it. So here is my question: What will happen if I want to major in two or more areas? Will the full scholarship cover both majors? Thank you for your help!

I have more than a 4.0 gpa, but like it say above, 4.0 is UNWEIGHTED. If you look at schools websites they ask for the unweighted gpa.

Answer 1

It depends. Usually full scholarships are for four years. If you can get both majors completed in four years, you'll probably be funded.

But of you have to add extra semesters, you might be on your own.

Most full scholarships are awarded to students with more than a 4.0 gpa, so be sure to file a FAFSA and try to get as many private scholarships as you can, in case the university doesn't fully fund you.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: You will have to work it out so it works that way. It also depends on the scholarship. Some scholarships will cover you for say "up to 120 hours or your completion of a bachelor's degree". Now, if your school allows you to, you can get both majors in in 120 hours, but you'll have to make sure that you don't finish either major early. 'Cause then they might cut you off. Typically, though, "full scholarships" direct from universities just cover you for a certain number of years and/or hours per semester. Stay under those limits and you're fine.
