<p>S received a packet yesterday from his intended major department inviting him to apply for one of their departmental scholarships,along with the application form(last thing he wants to see after filling out the other one).
Of course, in my mind, I take this to mean he was passed over by the "big" scholarship committee and tossed down to the department.
Anybody have any experience with this process,or am I just "awfullizing"?</p>
<p>D received same letter. Don't have any idea if it means that she is no longer in the running for other scholarships. Sure would like to know. I'm doing the same "awfulizing" since she has gotten merit money from all the places she really DOESN't want to attend since USC is her top choice.</p>
<p>EADad..
we decided to persue the additional application,given its quick deadline and wait another few days to see if other mail comes. Probably will call at the beginning of next week if no further word.
Thanks for the defense in the other thread..have no idea why it posted twice!!</p>
<p>Gee....my dd put "undeclared" as her intended major. I guess they don't have a special scholarship application for that one!</p>
<p>Thumper
Maybe she can change from undecided to a declared department and be eligible for some consideration?</p>
