academic/merit scholarship to an expensive school based on grades out of high school. some have tiers like presidential, dean's, etc.. so if that was the top merit scholarship, maybe he had over a 3.7 or something.

on edit:

President John R. Park Scholarship 4.00 GPA $10,000
Provost’s Scholarship 3.90 GPA $8,000
Bonneville Scholarship 3.80 GPA $6,000
Red Rock Scholarship 3.70 GPA $4,000
Great Salt Lake Scholarship 3.50 GPA $3,000

so this kid was smart. sad.

50% will believe he is ANTIFA, whatever that is. The other 50% will believe he was right wing. Silent Type Sep 2025 #2

The fact that he dropped out of college after one semester after receiving a presidential scholarship is telling. LeftInTX Sep 2025 #11

Yes, it is. That is how my daughter obtained hers. However, it does require minimum scores on tests. LeftInTX Sep 2025 #13
