URGENT
Hi,
Yesterday I received a letter of acceptance from an awesome girls prep school near my home. I applied as a day student, they also have boarding. However I discovered today that I received no financial aid. The $50,000 tuition is steep, but I am looking for any chance to decrease the amount so I can go. The school has an equestrian program, and I have been riding for 11 years. I would only consider myself upper intermediate, and not an expert, which is why I didn’t consider this sooner: I am thinking it might be worth a try to contact the school’s riding instructor to see if I can qualify for an athletic scholarship. Does anyone with experience in prep schools and/or equestrian think this will work? Are there any downsides if I try this? I would really appreciate hearing back from someone soon. The enrollment deadline is April 10, but it would be great to come to a conclusion well before then.Thanks!
