<p>hey everyone…just got notified i didn’t get ingram</p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in Vanderbilt and taking the time to apply for the Ingram Scholarship Program. The selection committee recently met to identify semi-finalists for the Program. Selecting the semi-finalists was, as always, extremely difficult given the outstanding community service records of the 562 candidates. I regret to inform you that you have not been selected as an Ingram Scholarship semi-finalist.</p>
<p>Given the devotion you have shown to service, I anticipate that you will continue in your service effort. If you enroll at Vanderbilt, our Office of Active Citizenship and Service will surely value your involvement. This office facilitates the activities of programs such as Alternative Spring Break, Habitat for Humanity, and VanderBuddies, just to name a few. Also, please keep in mind that Ingram Scholarships are awarded to currently enrolled students each year, and you are welcome to compete again for the scholarship.</p>
<p>The process of selecting scholarship recipients for other awards we administer is still ongoing, including the Cornelius Vanderbilt and Chancellor’s Scholarships. Award recipients will be notified either by a separate letter during the month of March or with an offer of admission.</p>
<p>Please note that the largest share of dollars we offer to incoming students is in the form of need-based financial assistance. We are committed to making a Vanderbilt education affordable for families based upon our three commitments:</p>
<p>*Our admissions process is entirely need-blind. This means that your family’s ability to pay for a Vanderbilt education is not a factor in our admissions process. </p>
<p>*Vanderbilt will meet 100% of a family’s demonstrated financial need for all admitted U.S.citizens and eligible non-citizens. Many students often pay no more to attend Vanderbilt than they would pay to attend a college with a lower total cost.</p>
<p>*Need-based financial aid packages include no need-based loans while we award greater amounts of grant/scholarship assistance. This initiative does not involve income bands or “cut-offs” used to determine levels of eligibility and applies to all admitted U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens with demonstrated financial need.</p>
<p>If you have applied for need-based financial aid, you should receive a financial aid notification letter along with any offer of admission. If you feel that you will require need-based student financial assistance but have not yet completed the application process for need-based aid, visit our website at [Office</a> of Financial Aid | Vanderbilt University](<a href=“http://www.vanderbilt.edu/financialaid]Office”>Office of Financial Aid | Vanderbilt University) for complete application instructions and additional information. </p>
<p>Best wishes as you make your college enrollment decision.</p>
