So, after some communication with Financial aid/Scholarships, I received clarification. Maybe “out of money” was not the greatest phrase…they have allotted all Merit Scholarships that have been earned. Not that they are out of money…anyone who did not receive one, did not fit criteria.
If you are from a non-ranking HS, they look at your “school profile, WGPA comparisons with other students applying with similar GPA scales, past applicant info from that school, the strength and rigor of the HS curriculum, the number of As VS Bs…” While they state that students not in top 10% with high test scores will be considered for merit, they NEVER award scholarships to those who are not at least in top 15%.
I am sure a lot of our kids have some deciding to do…Congratulations to all who have been accepted. I truly believe our kids will end up where they are meant to be!!!
