My daughter filled out the scholarship app today. We couldn’t find anywhere on admissions site where it clarified that you don’t need to send it for merit scholarships so she called the scholarship office. The woman she spoke to gave her same info previously posted. You don’t need to send it for merit but even if you don’t qualify for the ones listed on bottom half of app, there are other departmental scholarships that you will be considered for. She actually said to my daughter, “why wouldn’t you send it in? You have nothing to lose and money to gain.” Made sense to us.
