<p>S has multiple full scholarship offers to so faxed a "counter-offer" request on February 28(confirmed received receipt), following up with an email/phone calls they said they did not receive it. Faxed request again mid-March and happened to see Aggieland Bound Scholarship for $1000 in son's Howdy portal. Called to ask about the in-state tuition waiver and person said yes it is waived. Called back as was making flight arrangements to re-visit school and had other questions and this person said it was NOT applicable to tuition waiver. Sent an email to Scholarship office for written clarification and received a phone call in response to my email that yes it does include a tuition waiver. Asked for this in writing and was told to call another person who said no it wasn't. OMG...does this school realize what they are doing?</p>
<p>Does anyone know who really would be the true person to determine this???</p>
<p>S is OOS and accepted to Mays Business School. Stats are: 32 ACT, 34 ACT Superscore, 8 APs with 4s and 5s; dual enrollment; multiple ECs and leadership roles/sports (Big Brother program mentor, captain varsity Tennis, Tennessee Governor's School, etc). </p>
<p>Does anyone know what the truth is with this scholarship?</p>
<p>^^I’m sorry; I’m not at all familiar with the Agglieland Bound scholarships. Do other students, including Texas students, compete for the award? Do you know which department makes the award? I might begin there. According to derekallen’s post, the department who bestows the award “certifies” it as being eligible for the in-state tuition waiver. So that department SHOULD have the straight answer.</p>
<p>I’m brand new to the Aggie experience. My son is an accepted student for the fall. One thing I’ve noticed about A&M so far is that every single office I have ever called has student workers answering their phones. The student workers in many cases do not know the answers to much of what I’m asking. And it’s next to impossible to get a full-time, non-student employee to come to the phone. Yep. Logistically, I think TAMU might take some getting used to. (It is good, though, that they enable their students to work and earn their education.)</p>
<p>if you visit the financial aid office, you will more than likely be able to get a full time worker to talk with, phone calls are huge in volume compared with in office visits</p>
<p>^but the OP is OOS. Can’t really visit the financial aid office.</p>
<p>(The calls I was talking about were to other than the FA office, btw. I haven’t had any need to talk to the fin aid office yet, knock on wood. Like the OP, I would be unable to visit in person if a problem arose. Once my son is a student there, then he’ll be able to take care of all this business in person. :))</p>
