Scholarship: Difference between revisions

[[File:Won Scholarship.png|left]]In ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', players can send [[teen]] [[Sim]]s to [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]], where they continue their lives as [[young adult]]s. Playable teens may go to college at any time by using a telephone or computer, or the player may send them by using the "Send Sims to College" button on the neighborhood screen. Before that, the Sim should apply for scholarships, which is also done via a phone or computer. Scholarships are handed out based on different criteria, such as good [[School#The Sims 2|grades]] or a high level in a [[skill]]. Working on any skill will help in college and the workforce anyway, and getting a particular scholarship, or any scholarship, is often a [[want]]. All teenagers going to college start with §500, and scholarships add to that. Colleges in ''The Sims 2: University'' do not charge tuition, and have no fees aside from the regular [[bill]]s, so scholarships give Sims additional funds to use in their first semester at college.

There are some scholarships which are hard to get, such as the Billiard Prize and the Footwork Award. A Sim can get the Footwork Award by practicing dancing until the "Bust A Move" option becomes available. If this option is available, the Sim either qualifies for the award or is close to qualifying. If ''[[FreetimeThe Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' is installed, the Sim can also work toward the Footwork Award by practicing on the ballet barre.

The Billiard Prize is not that easy. A Sim will have to play pool many times before qualifying for the award. Players can tell when the scholarship is available when Sims can preformperform both trick shots.

After taking the aptitude test, Sims will immediately receive the result. In an aptitude test, there are sub-scores for each major, ranging from 100 to 400. The maximum total score a Sim can earn is 2,400. The score a Sim can earn in a major depends on Sim's [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traittraits]]s and [[skill]]s, as well as their level in a [[career]] associated with the major.

===Aptitude Testtest Scoringscoring===

For instance, a Sim who is [[Artisticartistic]] (83 points), work in [[Culinaryculinary]] level 3 (117 points), and have [[Sculptingsculpting]] skill level 3 (81 points) will earn 391 points, which is sufficient enough to earn a Distinguished Award with extra 18 credits toward Fine Arts major. Below is the list of factors in each major:

*Having the [[Genius (The Sims 3)|genius]] trait really helps because it adds extra points for all majors.

*[[Education]] career is not included in any major as a career factor. Furthermore, skills, traits, and careers in ''Island Paradise'' and ''Into the Future'' are not associated with the majors, which means Sims will not benefit from mastering [[bot building]] skill, for example.
