My son was accepted to UT - Austin for Fall 2010 start. He was accepted into Liberal Arts - Geography department (environmental studies). He’s also been accepted into the Liberal Arts Honors program. (he wasn’t interested in Plan II)

SAT 2140
Top 2% of his class
10 AP classes
Texas high school

Does anyone know when they make announcement or notify finalists for Texas Exes Scholarships or Dedman finalists? I doubt he has a chance, but just wanted to know when. I had read earlier that they notify finalists the first week of March via phone call. Then final decisions after interviews in late March.

He’d really like to go to UT, but scholarships is a big part of making it work financially. I did notice yesterday that he was awarded “August Kunz scholarship” yesterday for $2,500. That sounds encouraging and off to a good start.

It’s just that UT is sooo slow on announcing scholarships winners. By the time you know you have enough scholarship money to go to UT, you’ll be lucky to get a place to stay in the dorms :)
