<p>I got home from school toady to find that sysracuse me a letter by UPS overnight. I opened it up and found a letter inviting me to apply for the Coronat Scholars Program. It offers a full ride scholarship including one semester abroad and summer research funding. However, applying requires 2200 words of essays.</p>
<p>Did anyone else get this offer?</p>
<p>no i didnt!! why do u think u got it??
but i did get the deans scholar award. can just anyone apply?</p>
<p>Applying is by invitation only.
Bill..can u post your stats, so the rest of us can see where we fall.
BTW..2200 words of essays is not a lot to ask if they will give you a full ride.</p>
<p>2200 words in exchange for $100,000. Duh.</p>

<p>Thanks so much...and congrats!</p>
<p>I forget to mention, the scholarship I recieved is for Arts and Sciences students only.</p>
<p>oh im engineering and computer science. and my stats arent nearly as good as yours so idk how the hell i got in. maybe its cuz im out of state and black. no joke.</p>
<p>Hey, I received an invitation to apply for the Coronat Scholarship also. Syracuse isn't my top school, but this scholarship would make it hard to turn down!</p>
<p>I got a thin envelope in the mail today. I didn't get the Coronat Scholarship :( I was, however, admitted to syracuse with a $64,000 scholarship. I doubt I will attend.</p>
<p>Sorry Bill. I haven't heard yet. No idea if that is good or bad. Did the admission decision and scholarship info come with the "thin envelop"?</p>
<p>Yes, they both came in the same envelope. It had a single sheet of paper that said I didn't get the schoarship but had been admitted to Syracuse.</p>
<p>Where else did you apply?</p>
<p>Got the same letter :-(</p>
<p>Nice deal, but not sure I'll be there.</p>
<p>Congratulations to those of you who are in the running for a Coronat scholarship. A quick question: Is this scholarship exclusively for applicants to the College of Arts and Sciences? Or have any of you applied to dual enrollment programs (e.g. Arts and Sciences and Newhouse)?</p>
<p>It is for anyone who has applied to the College of Arts and Sciences, so duel application counts.</p>
<p>did anyone here get the scholarship?... what sort of stats do you have if you did?</p>
