Well I got this from their website : Scholarships [INDENT]Freshman Scholarships [INDENT]The Howard University Freshman Scholarship (HUFS) Program is designed to assist accepted First-Time-in-College students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement throughout their secondary school career and have chosen to attend Howard University. Scholarships are automatically awarded on a first-come, first-served, basis to eligible candidates. A separate application is not required. Scholarships are awarded until all funds have been exhausted and not all eligible applications will receive an award. [/INDENT][/INDENT]So the answer is no..u cant get a scholarship your sophmore year that is meant for freshman only..but Howard does have other scholarships u can get your sophmore year..like one of the trustee scholarships

It's pretty good...I know alot of music majors and I havent heard them complain. There is Jazz Band, Concert Band and Marching Band; there may be a few other ensembles as well.

They are in the rebuilding process....they just got a new coach, so hopefully they will get back on track with winning more games and becoming more competitive in the conference.

Hey folks just another Howard hopeful. Now I know there is no set formula to get into college but I want Howard so badly Im stressing out my junior year! But how much does Howard look at extra-curriculars? because Im HEAVILY involved but I dont know how they look at it. Also I took AP English earlier this year but dropped it to English Honors because it hurt my GPA..went from 3.0 Unweighted to 2.9 Unweighted will this hinder my admissions process?
