<p>justink, you certainly have some fantastic academic and personal merits and I’m sure we will enjoy reviewing your application.</p>
<p>All students who apply are considered for the few merit based scholarships we have. As soccerguy mentioned, we have very few scholarships and even fewer than include tuition money because the Monroe Scholarship provides a research grant but not tuition assistance. Only 45-50 students a year come in with tuition scholarships (Murray Scholars and W&M Scholars). </p>
<p>Your application and all others are being reviewed for those two scholarships and the Monroe award. Unfortunately, no applicant should bank on a scholarship award from W&M because we simply do not have many to award. We focus our efforts on meeting need-based aid more so than granting scholarships.</p>
