For the $48,000 ($12,000/year) USF Green & Gold Presidential Award, you need a 4.00 GPA and a 1340+ SAT (or 29+ ACT), while the $36,000 ($9,000/year) Directors Award requires a 3.80+ GPA and 1280+ SAT (or 27+ ACT), Miracle. Also note that USF's standard out-of-state tuition is only around $17,324/year, so a $12,000/year scholarship leaves only ~$5,300/year in tuition!
