Scholarships and other ?'s

We were shocked and thrilled today when my D got another scholarship offer in the mail from Alfred which they said was in addition to the very generous initial portfolio scholarship! She was awarded the Miller Portfolio Scholarship in today’s letter. I didn’t think you could recieve more than 1 scholarship, but the letter specifically states that it is in addition to the original one. We are so proud of her! She also has to maintain a 2.75 gpa freshman year, and then a 3.0 thereafter.

Spiffy, thank you for answering my ?'s in the pm! I’ve tried to respond via pm 3 times, but it keeps logging me out when I hit send.

We are going out for the accepted students day on 3/23 so that she can attend a class and stay the night with an art student before the Open House on the 24th. I really hope she likes it! Her pottery teacher is an Alfred alumni and keeps talking it up to her. I will ask if we can have our tour with your daughter if she will be working that day.

Does anyone know if art students have the time to participate in varsity sports? My D has been on swim teams since she was 7, but wonders if there will be time since art can be so time consuming.

Also any lodging suggestions for our visit?

Thanks!
