Acceptances for class of 2018 and merit award discussion

<p>I received my acceptance and scholarship information by priority mail Friday, but some of my friends received theirs by logging onto their Wofford account. I do not know why it was different for some students. I was a Wofford Scholar and am a resident of SC so that may have some bearing on it. I really liked Wofford and will probably attend unless my number one choice gives me money I do not expect. Even so, I might would still choose Wofford. I think research opportunities would be greater since you are not competing with grad students.</p>

<p>The reason the amount is different for each semester is that Interim (January session) fees are included in first semester tuition. The fee includes the three credit hour class chosen by the student. If you opt for some of the off-campus programs, you will have to pay an additional fee. I am saving my summer work money in hopes of going somewhere cool and unusual. </p>

<p>I also auditioned for a Performing Arts Scholarship. I do not think they have been awarded yet. I called the financial aid office Friday afternoon and was told that I should contact the individual department to find out if those had been awarded. I sent an email to the department head last night and hope to receive a response Monday. Of course, it is possible that I did not receive a scholarship. I am not majoring in the arts and I would assume first priority would go to those students.</p>

<p>I understand Wofford is very generous with financial aid and I am still hoping for more money too. Good luck.</p>
