<p>The website says the notification date is Feb 20th (today). Has anyone received any word yet? I havent, and I’m just a little paranoid.</p>
<p>Thx</p>

<p>pbar27, there has already been a thread started with that question. Check out Dhs below.</p>
<p>after i worked on that stupid box problem. I guess being from Louisiana disqualifies me from getting any money from that backwards school, as they’d rather take northerers who’ll go right back after they get a degree. and they wonder why lsu is more popular in new orleans.</p>
<p>bj921, I’m sorry for your diapppointment. You are in good company as more students don’t get the DHS than do. However, you need to read this:</p>

<p>Tulane Engineering Alum David Filo Gives $30 Million for Engineering Scholarships</p>
<p>Yahoo! co-founder David Filo and Netscape co-founder Jim Clark, two of the biggest names in computer technology, last week announced a combined gift of $60 million to Tulane University’s endowment–the largest individual or combined gift in the university’s history. David Filo, who received his B.S. in computer engineering from the Tulane School of Engineering in 1988, has designated his $30 million gift for scholarships for undergraduate engineering and computer science students of “extraordinary academic merit and demonstrated need.”</p>
<p>Filo, a native of Moss Bluff, Louisiana, was a scholarship student and a Dean’s Honor Scholar while at Tulane. He graduated summa cum laude and was named Tulane’s “top graduate” of 1988. He was the 1997 recipient of the Harold A. Levey Award for Early Career Achievement from the School of Engineering and was the 2001 recipient of the School of Engineering’s Outstanding Alumnus Award. Last year, Filo was elected to the Tulane School of Engineering Hall of Fame. He credits Tulane for much of his success in his relatively short business career.</p>
<p>“That I was able to get into the position to start Yahoo! was in large part due to Tulane,” Filo says. “They gave me a scholarship, without which I probably would never have been able to attend. This gift is my way of contributing to higher education in my home state as well as showing my gratitude for the wonderful education I received at Tulane.”</p>
<p>that that money is not where all of the engineering scholarships are coming from. There was a test given to about 35 new orleans students that was completely off the wall and random. that test leads to 10 interviews and unltimately 2 engineering scholarships.</p>
<p>bj921, it isn’t. Engineering students are eligible for DHS, DSA and Founders as well as numerous other scholarships. Go to the engineering school’s web site and look at the named funds for scholarships and chairs.</p>
<p>Question for my friend:</p>
<p>She got a Tulane scholarship (not dean’s, the other big one). Will this replace her financial aid offer or add to it? Meaning, will she be paying that $18 a year at Tulane, or will she be going for essentially free?</p>
<p>Have her call the finaid office.</p>
<p>I got a call two weeks ago - and a letter 5 days ago (up north) - most notifications have gone out</p>
<p>Congrats EIA</p>
<p>I got a phone call nearly a month ago but haven’t received anything in the mail.</p>
<p>kraemer3434 - my S goes to LSMSA!!! I think I know who you are, but I’m not going to put your name on the internet, of course. He rode back w you after Mardi Gras…if you’re who I think…and CONGRATS on the great scholarship!

<p>OMG…LSMSA!!! I <3 that school!!! </p>
<p>“I guess being from Louisiana disqualifies me from getting any money from that backwards school, as they’d rather take northerers who’ll go right back after they get a degree.”–i’m not sure about that…I’m from LA</p>
