Does anyone here know anything about the Balfour Scholars? I received a portal update saying that I would be a Balfour Scholar should I accept but I cannot find any info about that.
@squiretheo My daughter got it too. It’s a scholarship that you are awarded in replacement of loans. Once the financial aid package is received you will see how much it is.
Congratulations to class of 2024!
Thank you and congratulations to her as well!
