<p>To respond to Jackson17’s initial post, most of the scholarship letters I have seen mine included ( dean’s award which is for 8,000 a semester) specifically state that they are transferable for abroad programs. Thus, the sudden policy change is not only unjust, it may be illegal. Yet, Brandeis was one of the few schools to ever allow this in the first place, so it limits options. My advice to parents and others is to mention that this change upsets you whenever you receive fundraising calls from Brandeis. People are listening to the refusal reasons and do take these things into consideration. Brandeis is very bottom line conscious in regard to policy.</p>
