and that seems to be the difference, that MHC knows they don’t have enough positions available to meet all the WS grants handed out to students expecting to make that money, but continues to make the awards.
Since MHC agrees to meet all need, I do think it has an obligation to make the awards achievable. Is it any different than the law schools who give scholarships to all students who get 3.5 gpa, and then make sure no one gets a 3.5? MHC should just be honest and tell new freshmen it is unlikely they’ll earn more than a sliver of their WS award.
