Hello everyone, I wanted to give you an update and share my heartfelt thanks for all your help.
First, I am overwhelmed by the genuine care, passion, and support everyone has shown in this thread. You shared so many great ideas, and I’m incredibly thankful to have found this community. I’m blown away by how helpful and supportive everyone has been.
Just talked to my daughter, to gauge how she feels about the school, and she seems to be very willing to attend Lehigh if she is granted the scholarship. She is very impact-oriented and sees Lehigh as a place where she can truly contribute and help make the community even better—an opportunity she feels might be harder to find at a bigger school.
If the scholarship doesn’t work out, she is quite at peace with it and is curious to see what happens with her other applications. My husband is in hospital and is on unpaid leave since the beginning of September, so I suspect that the tax return for this year might look different than 2024 and she might be eligible for some financial aid, if the scholarship doesn’t work out.
I will update this thread after December 3rd to let you all know the final outcome. Thank you all again!
