CONGRATS!!!

Did you read the article “Trinity offers Merit Scholarships to Class of '10” in the ‘Trinity Tripod’?

here’s an extract:

“For the first time ever, Trinity will begin offering merit scholarships to incoming first-year students. Approximately 100 students will be offered scholarships and Trinity is expecting to enroll about 20 of them. A Presidential Scholar will be offered full tuition for four years of study and a Summit Scholar will be offered half tuition for four years of study.”

“Right now, the Presidential Scholarships are being targeted at the top five percent of students that are offered admission. This amounts to approximately two percent of the entire applicant pool. The students offered scholarships will be selected through a holistic approach that mirrors the standard admissions policy. Some things that will be considered are test scores, grades, difficulty of classes, and personal qualities such as leadership, ability to overcome disadvantage, and concern for others. Presidential Scholarships will be offered without regard to family resources, as the intention is to attract the best possible students.”

So, congrats again!! Seems like Trinity is finally increasing its efforts to attract the best students!
