<p>Son was accepted this afternoon. 2nd choice school, but very excited he has a great place to attend.</p>
<p>so this is a new thing? the tower scholarship? ds got an invite and is excited to participate. Trinity in top 3 for him, but things like this are sure persuasive!! Any details on this competition? not much info that I can see.</p>
<p>I was wondering about the Tower Scholars Day as well…how many scholarships are available? How would we compete for them?</p>
<p>20 full tuition scholarships.

<p>Last year, 158 participants, and “up to 20” offered. Not clear whether they re-offer if an offeree selects a different school. So 1 in 8 chance. Fairly long odds.</p>
<p>Even if you don’t get the full tuition award, you will receive an extra $1500 for freshman year if you participate in Tower Scholars Day.</p>
