My DS had a full scholarship for the local day school, and had to be enrolled by January 30th. There was a nonrefundable enrollment fee, but we did what we had to do. We made sure the local school was aware that they were the backup (the scholarship was for scoring highest on the admittance test, so it wouldn’t have been offered to anyone else, anyway.) We had until June or July to withdraw, but again, since we wouldn’t have been paying tuition it really didn’t matter. Like I said, though, we just made them aware of the situation, that we needed to wait on acceptances and FA offers, and they seemed to understand.
