Award of Excellence Scholarship?

<p>wow! congrats! when did you hear?</p>

<p>How long after you got into LSA did you hear about these scholarships? I just got into LSA today...</p>

<p>I got a letter a couple of days ago saying that I got the LSA scholarship....like around 60,000 bucks.....over four years. Did anyone else get this? Also, when are the nominations for the Shipman scholarships supposed to come out?</p>

<p>Congratulations Beethoven! That's a major scholarship!!</p>

<p>Ranisparkle and College_hopeful, for my $1500 one I was notified over Christmas break, about 3-4 weeks after hearing of my acceptance.</p>

<p>uuuh WOW!! Beethoven what are your stats?</p>

<p>Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was a common scholarship or not lol. Ranisparkle: well...I'm not really comfortable sharing my stats (I'm just paranoid like that ;))...but I did get into Yale EA, if that makes a difference. Hope you all get it too! :)</p>

<p>I got the same scholarship in the mail today and well, I'll take beethoven's lead and say that I got accepted to Caltech EA.</p>

<p>thats understandable. congrats you two!</p>

<p>so beethoven & korinfox, what are your thoughts re Michigan at half the cost of Yale or Cal Tech?</p>

<p>My SATS went up 1490 to 1560 after I submitted my app. Do you think I should somehow let them know?</p>

<p>The money is tempting; I won't lie LOL. Yet, my heart is still on Yale :).....I'll have to deliberate the dilemma. </p>

<p>For the Shipman scholarship...when do we find out if we are "nominated"? If we haven't heard anything by now...does that mean we didn't get the nod?</p>

<p>"Prospective nominees must be admitted to the University of Michigan no later than January 15. Recipients will be notified by March 20."</p>

<p>However, since the weekend is 3/12-14, it should happen before then!</p>

<p>z00b.. it can only help to let them know plus it shouldn't be too much of a hassel</p>

<p>bianchi23: thanks. Wait....can one still get a shipman scholarship if one already received the LSA one?</p>

<p>if they really really really want you maybe? haha</p>

<p>beethoven,</p>

<p>Yes; in LSA the Shipman would be in addition to the LSA Merit scholarship.</p>

<p>I don't know what COE would provide. They're not as forthcoming with details on their website.</p>
