I received an email today 1-16 saying:
Congratulations again on your acceptance to the University of Rhode Island and being a finalist for the prestigious Alfred J. Verrecchia Scholars Program.
This distinguished scholarship program will cover tuition, fees, room, board, book stipend, Winter J Term travel course, a spot at our Leadership Institute, and many special opportunities for those selected. Your excellent work inside and outside the classroom have been recognized and we invite you to come to campus for a Scholar Day to interview with the selection committee.
The Scholar Day will include a 30-minute interview with the selection committee and a series of events to help you to connect with our greater URI community. Options will include a personal guided experience on campus, attending a class, meeting with your academic college or the Honors program, and lunch in our award-winning dining hall.
