<p>Congratulations to you all, you should be proud. You will be joining a fine community! If you haven’t applied for merit scholarships…do so now!!! I look forward to meeting you all next year. I am a member of the Orientation Exec Board, and we are planning some fun things for yall all to do next year when you enter the WU community. Feel free to ask me any questions about WU if you ever have them! Best of luck with the rest of senior year!</p>
<p>Also, if there are cool things that you all really want to do for orientation, you can tell me in here and I will take them back to the rest of the Exec Board and see what we can do. We really want orientation to be fun and to cater to what you all want!</p>
<p>I have a question regarding the John B. Ervin scholarship. The requirement said “We encourage students to apply who are U.S. citizens, have challenged themselves and excelled academically, can demonstrate leadership, have engaged in or shown a commitment to community service, can demonstrate their commitment to bringing diverse people together.” I fit into the category for leadership in diversity because I am the president of Culture Club at a relatively homogeneous KY school. However, I am NOT a US citizen. Do they disqualify applicants who are permanent residents? It seems like this was the only scholarship that included the phrase “US citizen…”</p>
