<p>Entomom, like fineartsmom mentioned, it is getting very interesting with NHRP. Letters from deans, presidents and chancellors directed specifically at the student with students’s name. Alamba sent one very nice letter than 5 days letter sent that certificate. Iowa’s offer is also tempting. DS even got a personal addressed email from Harvard inviting him to a diversity weekend, also he received one from UVA. No offer of paying for travel with it.</p>
<p>On an important side note for everyone, last night I went to Boston University’s local presentation while son was at Wake Forest’s. The rep alerted me to something I had not thought of recently. Some NHRP’s offers might require a separate scholarship application and the date for submitting the application may fall before the regular college application is due. For example, BU requires a merit scholarship application be filed by Dec. 1 while college application is due Jan. 1 (if i remember correctly.) Also not every Hispanic Scholar will receive an award, the admission rep says it is a competitive process and only some of the Hispanic Scholars will receive the Hispanic Scholar 50% tuition award.</p>
<p>So while back at Vanderbilt and Ohio State with DS starting today, my furloughed DH will be given the task of checking for due dates for merit scholarships and financial aid. </p>
<p>Also DS/DH said that Wake Forest told them they would give money for NHRP although it is not listed on their website.</p>
<p>Please keep posting any letters or emails noting NHRP, it gives us all a more updated list and some of the specifics of previous awards have changed.
thanks, itsv</p>
