Scholarship Deadlines Before Admission Decisions Roll Out?

My DD spent hours…many hours…in a scholarship application for a college. She did this in November well before she was accepted. The deadline for this very generous school scholarship was submission before December 1. She complied. Eventually she was accepted…but the scholarship awards didn’t come out until about 6 weeks later.

She had met the deadline…and got the award. But if she hadn’t met the scholarship deadline, she would have gotten…nothing…at all.

This is the way it is. The scholarship application deadlines appear to be before you get your admission decision (which is usually the case, BTW). You have a choice…you can either apply…or not…your choice.
