Actually, S got just plain grant money to start out with. Eventually, he was informed that he was the recipient of this particular scholarship. IIRC, it was not until junior year, or the end of sophomore year at the earliest. He was required to write a thank you note to the donor, and so forth. I’m sure they would have just continued to give him the money in a “just plain grant” if he had not been eligible for this specific scholarship. The scholarship, while very generous–and we are tremendously grateful for it–did not comprise the major part of his FA.

Definitely use the contacts described above. But unless you can get your GPA and ACT up significantly–or unless your are an URM–I don’t think your chances are strong.
