We are in the same boat—- our daughter also has a 32. She is a UA Scholar, in which I am incredibly thankful.
Yet, last year a 32 was Presidential.
Next year a 32 will be considered Presidential.
We are stuck in this one year with lots less merit award money.
Literally, the Class of 2022 is the only class of 32s who do not get Presidential Merit Award.
Over four years this means $24,000.00 less in award money.
It doesn’t sit well.
Incredibly frustrating.
I have contacted scholarship office, the Presidents office and more.
Hoping they will make an adjustment to honor the 32s if Class of 2022.
It is a business and we are the customers.
And our daughter had lots of great options.
She fell in love with Alabama.
I am thrilled she is excited!
In the end, I just want her to be happy and thrive.
But this scholarship gap is not a good way to get started.
