I’m another middle-class student who will not be attending Davidson. I was not at all impressed by their scholarship administration. I can accept that I’m not receiving a scholarship–I’m sure there were more qualified students. However, I don’t appreciate the fact that I applied before January 2 for a special application scholarship and never even received the courtesy of a rejection letter. It’s pretty lame that in the glossy “Understanding your Class of 2013 Award Letter” that I received on April 18, I finally learned their notification system for scholarships—“Note: If you will receive a merit-based scholarship, we will notify you after April 15. If we do not contact you, you have not been awarded a scholarship.”
