<p>If you look at the list of institutions on the TE website, you can see the range of TE grants that are awarded by the schools you’re interested in. Some schools offer TE grants to more than 90% of those who apply for it, some offer the TE grants to fewer than 10% of the applicants who request it.</p>
<p>Simmons and Emerson are listed in the 41-60% range. I don’t know about Wheaton or Syracuse. </p>
<p>My son applied to three TE schools. One school awarded him the TE grant very early in his application process. Another assured us that he’d likely get a TE award, once he was admitted to the university, and a third school told us that they always had far more requests for TE than they had grants available. They were listed as granting TE to <10% of applicants on the TE website. [They offered him a full tuition music scholarship instead.] </p>
<p>We found the process to be a bit confusing, because each school had slightly different procedures for acknowledging the TE certification and different rules for combining TE with other merit awards, but overall, we were pleased with the outcome. </p>
<p>Our D also attended college on TE, although she applied only to one school that was her first choice for her major.</p>
