I have enjoyed lurking here for a while now. Daughter was just accepted into the Lott Leadership Institute. We are hoping to hear from the Honors College this week. She has qualified for Academic Excellence and Holmes totaling 104k/26k per year. When will competitive scholarship winners be notified?
She is going to attend Ole Miss regardless which we are very happy and excited about.
Congrats to your daughter! Stamps Scholarships have already been announced. Interviews for some, if not all, other competitive scholarships have already been held, but I don’t know if those winners have been notified.
@SuburbMom - I thought that some of the smaller competitive scholarships were just based on the scholarship app…am I wrong about that?
That is what I thought as well. She did get good news from SMB Honors today. We are very happy with the merit aid that she has earned, and could not be more excited about her attending Ole Miss. She was accepted at UNC, UGa, UVa and is waiting to hear from Vandy April 1st. I know that she will be surrounded by similar students at SMBHC and LLI.
@MichiganGeorgia - When I read “competitive scholarships” I interpreted that to be the big ones (Lott, Croft, SBHC ones, etc.) I don’t know what the timing is for the smaller ones.
@uncletupelo - She must be a great student to get in all those schools. Are you from VA or UNC?
My son is a junior in high school and very interested in UVA. He is visiting Alabama and Ole Miss over spring break with my wife. He loves political science, law, economics type things. Currently he has the sessions ours set up as listed below. Is there anything else you would recommend? Anyone that we should talk with?
