I agree with Motodile. The connections you make as a Jeff Scholar are every bit as impressive as those you might make as a Stanford or Harvard student; lots of Jeff scholars have multiple ivy acceptances, and they turn them down for the free ride at UVA. It’s hard to justify spending anything when someone is willing to foot the bill for a prestigious school like UVA. (They’re one of the few highly ranked schools that offer merit scholarships. I would give the same advice for the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship, for example.). I can’t fathom why anyone in your situation would spend the money unnecessarily. Save the $ and put it toward grad school, a house, etc.
