This document describes a study examining exfoliative vaginal cytology in West African dwarf goats during their estrous cycle. Vaginal smears were collected from cycling and non-cycling goats at various intervals over 60 days. In cycling goats, superficial cells associated with proestrus, estrus and early metestrus were more frequent. Intermediate cells dominated smears from non-cycling goats, indicating anoestrus. Leucocytes and epithelial cells were present throughout the cycle in both groups. Cell counts peaked on days 1-2 after estrus then declined. The study aims to determine if vaginal cytology can assess reproductive status in West African dwarf goats.

Q: Hi Stephanie, nice to meet you again, what would you consider a good SAT score for merit based aid?
A: We like to see 1100 on math and reading combined, but it is not a requirement for scholarship
Q: how much do scholarship do you offer to people who get 1100 in SAT CR+MA?
A: The scholarship award is based upon your academic grades, FIT does not use the SAT for the award
unless you are a US citizen
Q: Good evening, Stephanie! Do we need to submit the certificate of financial proof in order to
demonstrate that we have money ALTHOUGH we receive money from scholarships?
A: In order to receive your I-20 for the student visa, proof of funding is required. The amount of
scholarship will be deducted from the total cost.
Q: I am from Argentina, and I'd want to study a couple years in a Community College in the U.S. Would I
be able to request financial aid, should I need it?
A: Yes you can. You should check with the Community College you would like to attend for financial aid
available
Q: Is there a general form you have international students complete, when they are inquiring about
scholarships?
A: When I review applications for admission, the student is automatically considered for merit aid.
Q: What procedure to get scholarship???
A: Again, it will depend on the institution. FIT does not have a separate form for merit aid but many
universities will have a separate form.
Q: What is the average amount of scholarship you give out to international students at FIT?
A: Our average at FIT last fall was around $10000 per year
Q: I'm quite scared to run out of money while there, given the overall economic instability of my country

studies in the US before enrolling.
2. Q: Hello, Ma'am, it's great to talk to you again, how much scholarships do you offer for students with a
CGPA of 4.0?
A: We can offer up to $15000 per year currently and this may be increased in the coming year.

an application is required.
Q: Are there any specific scholarships that I can apply for just on certain majors like Aviation
Management-Flight?

academic aid. Those who need a bit more assistance, can apply with our one page form for additional
aid. Athletes can ask about sports awards.

would not be required. We do offer the paper based test on campus during orientation.
Q: If we get a job in the cafeteria, will students get any special privileges, like discounts from their meal
plan fee?
A: I am not sure about the benefits of working in the cafeterias on campus. If our students become
resident hall advisors, which is are competitive positions, they will receive free room and meals. Many
of our RAs are international students.
Q: does FIT have an honors college? IF so, what is the minimum GPA and SAT score?
A: Florida Tech likes to say that all of our students are honor students! The classes here are all small

the previous score that you used to determine their scholarship, will you increase it?
A: If we do receive additional SAT scores from a US citizen, we can increase the award. It may or may
not have an effect on an international award.
