@dancingwriter is international award the same as international scholarship?
@YOLOOLOY Yes, it is the same thing.
I’d love to hear from someone who got the LEEP scholarship and their stats…anyone? D will be putting her application is for both this weekend, wish her luck
@dancingwriter did you only need the amount you received? I received a higher scholarship ($20,000/yr) but I still cannot afford Clark.
Btw where are you from?
@YOLOOLOY I didn’t apply for financial aid, which is probably why I received only $5000. And no, I cannot afford Clark. The only way I can afford it is if I am awarded the LEEP scholarship. I’m hoping to be named a finalist in a few months, but we’ll have to see. It is quite competitive.
@dancingwriter I dont think I should have applied for FA. No use. And yeah…Even I am eagerly waiting for the finalists’s names for the LEEP scholarship to be short-listed.
