Yes, if the AUSOM scholarships are declined, they will be awarded to another student. (This does not apply to merit scholarships though)
Not disputing and saying your wrong but the exchange I had with the Scholarship office yesterday didnât sound like that was the case. I didnât ask that specific question but the statement I did get from them was âRegretfully, all institutional scholarships have been awarded at this time and all decisions are final.â (thatâs a quote right from the email).
In any case, good luck to all the kids going to Auburn - we toured a few weeks back and it seemed like a great school with a positive vibe to it. DS is OOS and with no merit or scholarships left him as a full-pay student. He has other equivalent schools (programs, fit, etc) that are quite a bit less expensive so Auburn gets cut.

Good luck wherever your son lands! Auburn is a great school, but they definitely are not the most generous with money. Even if those small scholarships are re-awarded, theyâre likely to be fairly small amounts and not enough to put much on a dent in OOS tuition.

I hear you! Honestly Iâm struggling with this one because I hear housing goes extremely fast and donât want my daughter to miss out on getting the housing she wants but she hasnât made a final decision yet and it is frustrating that these schools expect payment and contracts so early

So we got a rejection in January and then just received an acceptance packet in the mail. Checked portal and there is now an acceptance letter? I havenât heard of that happening before?
