<p>I am applying to a county community scholarship. I was accepted early to a University outside of my state… should I mention my acceptance? does it matter at all??</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Are you planning to attend this college? If so, you could mention it “I will be attending Blah Blah University in the fall of 2008”. If you have not made a decision about attending the school, personally I would not mention it.</p>
<p>I was accepted early decision so unless the school decided to reject me again (THEY WON’T PLZ DON’T T-T) I will be attending the college for the next four years. the only reason i was asking is because for a county community scholarship… don’t they usually want people who are going to college within the state?</p>

<p>Does it say anywhere that this scholarship is only for students attending college IN state? If so, why are you applying for it (if your ED school is OOS)? If they award scholarships to students enrolling anywhere, then I think mentioning your school is fine (as posted above).</p>
<p>I think it would be a good idea not to mention your ED acceptance because your instincts are right: Such scholarship committees tend to favor students who’ll remain in-state. The fact, too, that you have an ED acceptance indicates that money isn’t that important to you. My perspective comes from having served on scholarship committees.</p>
<p>thank you guys! that was really helpful =]</p>
