Coming back to update on some initial results from DS’ EA applications.
- Eckerd rolled in with the first acceptance. He received the Founders Scholarship of $21K, plus the FL BF scholarship is added, as well as the FL resident discount.
-Wooster was next. It was not on the initial application list bc of its location, but bc his sister had such a good experience, he added it. He was rewarded with the Deans Scholarship of $31K/yr. Still waiting to see full financial package. He has begun the scholarship application for the College Scholar award, which could replace that and give him up to $34k/yr. Have not seen the full aid package from them yet. -Last week, he heard from Denver. They awarded him the Chancellor scholarship of $24K with a $3K residence hall grant. Also gave us $3K in grant money which was a nice surprise!
-Got an acceptance from Puget Sound in the mail yesterday! Don't have any financial award info yet. I should say, none has come in the mail. I need to have him log in to the portal and check there.
Expect to hear from Dickinson (anyone else experience Dickinson being a HUGE pain about financial aid paperwork as compared to any other school??) and hopefully UMiami in the next month or so. And then we wait until spring for American, Brandeis, and Occidental…
