ClassicRockerDad and MYOS1634, After looking at the UMass scholarship and finances page and finding out that yeah, the Abigail Adams scholarship only covers something like 20% of the total “tuition” I was shocked and thought the exact same thing: “This (pretty much) amounts to false advertising!” It was a huge turn off tbh and one of the reasons, besides getting ZERO aid from them that they have now become last on the list. D isn’t too fond of the enormous size of the campus to begin with.
D got the maximum merit aid amount of $64,000 total for 4 years from UVT ($17,000 per year as long as she maintains a 2.8 gpa 1st year and 3.0 the remaining years). So it’d be basically the same price as UMass… She also got invited into their honors college which I’ve heard was very selective, dorms are nice etc.
I’ve also heard that the UVT campus is beautiful. I’ve never been there. I am actually pretty excited to visit Burlington and the campus next month!
Thanks for your help!!
