I got an academic-based scholarship. But I'll be the first to say that my GPA isnt stellar. 3.1, 350/360 OAT.

they give out the trustee and presidential scholarship (this is ICO). I actually only found out about them when i went into the interview and saw the brochure on the cookie table, and its like 10k for the trustee and half tuition (~14k) for the presidential one

i heard about someone second-hand who got the big one (presidential), she had 3.90 and 400 on all OAT categories. they only give out like one or two of those, I think

i got the smaller one with a 3.75 and mix of 390s and 400s. from the website it looks like a pretty decent number of those are available (maybe 6-7?)

I think alot more scholarships are available IN SCHOOL after you get some optometry school grades and other tokens of achievement. for example, the pearle vision one that you can find on their site, which is available to all opto students

I had no idea Pearle had a scholarship! I work for them, jeez. I looked on the website and it's also available to those who have been accepted and are going to be in school that fall.
