I spoke with an acquaintance yesterday whose daughter, I heard, had gotten a “full ride” to Tulane. So the mom proceeds to tell me her daughter had gotten the DHS, which is a “full ride” (her description), “everything.” I asked if she had gotten the Hainkel, and the mom said, “Oh no, you have to put Tulane down as your no. 1 choice to get that.” I don’t know what the student is getting, and maybe the mom doesn’t exactly know either. Also, I didn’t quite get that – how do you put Tulane down as “your no. 1 choice”? So, exactly how does that work if your child applies for the DHS? I understand that the Hainkel and Stamps are drawn from that pool, correct? Does the applicant have to say they are interested in those scholarships, or does the committee pull from the pool? Thanks for the info!
