What did the “acceptance letter” say. Was she informed she would be receiving a scholarship or was she “invited” to apply to the Honors Program? There are a number of different scholarships (some named-i.e. Dupont) that are given to “Distinguished Scholars”. Students who attend the Distinguished Scholar event are apparently matched up with these various scholarships but students can also receive substantial scholarships even if they are not identified as “Distinguished Scholars” depending on their stats. Your D certainly sounds like she would at least would be one of them even if not designated as a “Distinguished Scholar”. From another thread it seems like one student just got the invitation last week so perhaps they are still sending them out. Perhaps they will be sending out additional invitations based upon the responses they get from students they have already invited (Some students may tell UD they definately do not plan to attend UD) and they then may send out additional invitations. I am just guessing on this, however. In any event I am fairly certain your D will be offered substantial merit aid. Best of luck to her.
