@cmg2024 the $1k scholarship is like @timell said, Cal Poly National Green and Gold scholarship. My daughter got the email notifying it on Monday (was in her junk mail and didn’t see it a few days!). We tried to look into what it is on their website, but couldn’t find any. I saw somewhere on this site that someone mentioned that it seems to be only for OS students.

Yes, fee is a fee. I get that! but it’s like “why starting this year?!?!” “why specifically say only charging OS students to support IS students?!?!”. It’s good that they have a plan and they are transparent about it. And I think even if my daughter got accepted at Berkley (last one she’s waiting) she’d choose Cal Poly or Purdue, because of the cost differences, and she KNOWS she will make the most out of it pretty much regardless of where she ends up at, she’s just that kind of kid.
