<p>Question … does Centre have a scholars weekend for awarding their top scholarship? I just know I spoke with the admissions counselor about this, but now I’m doubting myself. Do you know?</p>
<p>You know, I don't know. Jessie was never invited to attend a special scholarship weekend. The only thing she did after her acceptance was an athletic overnight visit and a freshman "testing" day in June.</p>
<p>Sorry I couldn't be more help!</p>
<p>Thanks, Centremom.</p>
<p>Yes, Centre has a Scholars Weekend, which is a competition, not an awards ceremony. This years it's March 10-11, and attendance for winning top scholarships is mandatory. It appears to be by invitation only, to compete for the Dean's Scholarship ($19,500/year), Grissom Scholarship (2/3 tuition), and President's Scholarship (tuition and fees.)</p>
<p>Back to lurkdom...</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, les_traveled. Would you mind sharing how you know this information?</p>
<p>No, I don't mind: We got it from my kiddo having just gotten the invitation.</p>
<p>Congratulations ... that's wonderful news! Stop lurking and start posting. We'd love to have you join in!</p>
<p>I'm afraid I prefer lurking. But thanks, anyway--and congrats to you, too.</p>
<p>See your PM, les_traveled.</p>
<p>les_traveled , well now. If there are 16 total and you have a letter and I have a letter, that doesn't leave that many, huh? LOL. Congrats to your ..uhh...kiddo. (I gotcha - anonymity, huh? It's pretty big with me , too. Low-profile all the way. Mums the word. Zipped lips. LOL.) Does Centre rank pretty high on the list?</p>
<p>Congrats, curmudgeon. Don't know where Centre ranks just yet.</p>
<p>I have been only a <em>very</em> occasional lurker on CC (I just thought I'd pitch on on Splash mom's original plea for help), but time constraints compel me to return to that status. . Please forgive.</p>
<p>Best wishes to all, and to all a good night.</p>
