2017-2-11 今天带妹妹去一家律师事务所,进行佐治亚理工大学的Stamps奖学金面试,我们这个州参加面试的总共有六个人,四个女生两个男生,下午一点到三点,每小时面试两个,因为妹妹被安排在最后一个小时面试,六个面试的学生中,我见到四个。其中叫马修的一个男孩,二十多分钟就给打发出来了,而叫布利安娜的一个女孩,面试了大概五十分钟。妹妹是第五个被叫进去面试的,到结束的时候,五十五分钟,而第六个被叫进去面试的女生,进去的晚,出来的早,大概不到半小时。人家都走了,妹妹还没有出来。 这六个面试的学生中,大概选出两个,三月份再到亚特兰大佐治亚理工校园进行最后的面试。 要说美国所谓的全额奖学金,对家庭收入 中等 以上出身的学生来说,应该是没有比Stamps奖学金更高的了。 佐治亚理工唯一能和藤校抗衡一争生源的,也就靠这个了。 Since 2006,annual gifts provided by the Stamps Foundation have been matched by the Institute, and the total funds provide the full cost of attendance and enrichment opportunities over four years for the 10 top freshmen admitted to Georgia Tech annually. In 2016,the President’s Scholarship Program will be renamed the Stamps President’s Scholars Program in recognition of the Stamps’ philanthropy. This means that every student in the President’s Scholars Program - approximately 40 freshmen each year - will receive funding equal to the full cost of attendance for four years (including tuition, fees, books, full room and board, and a stipend for miscellaneous living expenses) plus a laptop and enrichment experiences such as outdoor leadership programs, research and internship opportunities, and at least one international experience, up to $15,000 over four years.
2017-1- 21 全美实行Stamps优秀学生全额奖学金的学校,一共有44所。以佐治亚理工和密执根大学最早,原因是设置Stamps家族奖学金的Stamps夫妇,丈夫是佐治亚理工的毕业生,而妻子是密执根大学的毕业生。 Penny and Roe Stamps married in 1971 and initially settled in Boston. Penny started her own interior design business with her degree from the University of Michigan School of Art Design. Simultaneously, Roe co-founded the private investment firm Summit Partners soon after finishing his MBA at Harvard Business school; he received his BS and MS in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech. After they raised two children and excelled in their respective careers, they moved to Florida where they became involved in multiple philanthropic initiatives. 2006 - Penny W. Stamps (BSDes '66, TeachCert '66) and Roe Stamps( IV, IE 1967, MS IE 1972, HON PhD 2014 )created merit scholarship programs for undergraduates at their alma maters – The University of Michigan and Georgia Tech. Since then, the Stamps Scholars community has grown into a nationwide network of colleges and universities with more than 1300 current and alumni Scholars. 2016 - This fall, thirty-six partner schools across the country will collectively welcome the 11th class of Stamps Scholars to their campuses. Selected from over 400,000 applications, the new first-year class is made up of 209 Scholars with diverse academic interests including biomedical engineering, public policy, medicine, music, and education. 2016,Georgia Tech - E very student in the President’s Scholars Program — approximately 40 freshmen each year — will receive funding equal to the full cost of attendance for four years (including tuition, fees, books, full room and board, and a stipend for miscellaneous living expenses) plus a laptop and enrichment experiences such as outdoor leadership programs, research and internship opportunities, and at least one international experience, up to $15,000 over four years. The program offers top students full scholarships as well as access to supplemental funds for study-abroad programs, internships, or other activities that enrich the college experience. The Stamps program requires an investment from the schools involved—they must agree to fund half of the costs. Stamps奖学金的金额: The Stamps Family Charitable Foundation partners with visionary colleges and universities to award multi-year scholarships that enable extraordinary educational experiences. Scholars receive annual awards that range from $72,000 to $5,000 (four-year awards total an average of $288,000 – $20,000) with additional funds for enrichment activities such as study abroad, academic conferences, and leadership training. The Stamps Family Charitable Foundation and partner schools evenly share the costs of the awards. The unique benefit that all Stamps Scholarships include is an enrichment fund, an additional monetary fund for Scholars to use in their academic and professional development. They may use the award to study or volunteer outside the United States, conduct research, or participate in a leadership program or academic conference. We like to think of this part of the award as the “dream fund.” Univ Michigan - Each year, 18 freshmen are selected to receive the Stamps Scholarship. Students do not apply for the scholarship.The annual scholarship package for the 2015 – 2016 freshmen class totals $20,000 for Michigan residents and $40,000 for non-residents. 2016年( Class of 2020) 的Stamps学者: Barry University - 5 College of William Mary - 3 Elizabethtown College - 5 Georgia Institute of Technology - 40 Louisiana State University - 10 Mercer University - 5 Miami University - 6 Morehouse College - 5 Oberlin College Conservatory - 5 The Ohio State University - 5 Purdue University - 8 Tulane University - 5 University of California, Los Angeles - 3 University of Chicago - 4 University of Connecticut - 3 University of Florida - 3 University of Georgia - 5 University of Illinois - 5 University of Maryland - 3 University of Miami - 9 University of Michigan - 15 University of Mississippi - 14 University of Notre Dame -11 University of Oregon - 3 University of Pittsburgh - 3 University of South Carolina - 3 University of Southern California - 4 University of Texas at Austin - 4 University of Virginia - 3 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State Universit y - 3 Wake Forest - 5 2011-2016年间迈阿密大学的stamps学者: 2011 - 4 2012 - 2 2013 - 6 2014 - 5 2015 - 3 2016 - 4
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。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 三月份是大学正常申请发录取书的时间。 昨 天高中毕业生们基本收到所有申请的大学的通知。 女儿申请了19所大学, 昨 天收到了哈佛的拒绝信。阿Q点地说,她本来也没打算去哈佛上学,当初是本着可能拿奖学金,然后再跟耶鲁去讨价的想法申请的。不过被拒总归是有些扫兴的事情,但从另一方面来讲这倒正好给她泼点冷水让她认识到自己的不足。 有三个大学把她放在waiting list里:普林斯顿,约翰霍普金斯 和芝加哥大学。在waiting list,我觉得基本和拒绝没太大区别。 别的大学都给了她录取信,计有: 1, Yale 2, Cornell 3, Dartmouth 4, UC Berkeley 5, UC Davis 6, UC LA 7, U of Michigan 8, Rice University 9, UT Austin 10, U of Washington 11, Boston University 12, Northwestern University 13, U of Oklahoma 14, Willamette university (什么鬼学校?) 15, 本州大学的BA-MD program. 其中给她全奖的有本州大学,U of Oklahoma,Willamette university。 UC Davis给她四年5万多的奖学金。Boston U 给她每年2万的奖学金,Rice说了会给她,但是还没告诉具体数目,UT Austin 给了5千。 女儿前两天收到National Merit Scholarship的信,她做为finalist,得到 $2500 的奖励。她另外还得到了MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement)的 $1000 奖学金。 女儿和 D 都被录取的学校有:Cornell, Dartmouth, Rice, UC Berkeley, 和 UT Austin. D 还被Stanford, Johns Hopkins 录取,被Harvard, MIT 拒了。说实话,他被MIT 拒了挺出乎我的意料。
