My child made a 36 composite on his ACT, is a National Merit scholarship, and had a perfect GPA. We applied for yet did not receive an Honors scholarship even though they say ALL are merit based. Can anyone explain this to me?
Sorry National Merit Finalist
As a National Merit Finalist, the student would have to designate Baylor as his or her first choice to be considered for the large scholarship. The student would still get the 80k scholarship most likely for tuition. (which really helps) I would also apply to be invited to the Invitation to Excellence. If accepted then you immediately get $2,000 and are eligible to apply for the Invitation to Excellence scholarship. Other than that, I have no idea why he or she did not get an honors scholarship but I am not in the know. Hope it works out!
Is your child HS class of 16 or 17?
HS class of 2016 and Baylor class of 2020.
