Dear ----,
Congratulations! On behalf of Grinnell College, I am delighted to offer you admission to the Class of 2022. You have every reason to be proud of this achievement — you were chosen from among a large and talented group of applicants.
In fact, we were so impressed by your accomplishments that we have awarded you the Founder’s Scholarship. This merit-based award provides you $12,000 each year for the next four years. That is a total merit-based scholarship of $48,000 for your study at Grinnell. This is one of the highest honors that we can bestow upon a newly admitted student, and it speaks to the level of confidence that we have in your abilities and fit for Grinnell.
For the past few months, the Office of Admission has been carefully reviewing applications in an effort to find those students who can both benefit from and contribute to this vibrant community of scholars. As you have come to learn, Grinnell is a special place where students are expected to assume tremendous responsibility for their education and for the conduct of their daily lives. I have every confidence that you will not only meet this challenge, but thrive in this environment. Please know that you will not walk this path alone. In the coming months, you will come to know faculty members, staff members, and classmates who will accompany you on this journey. It is inevitable that, as much as you will be shaped by your time at Grinnell, so too will Grinnell College be shaped by your presence here. It is fair to say that neither will ever be quite the same again.
We want to give you every opportunity to explore the College and to see why we think you and Grinnell are a good match. To that end, we are holding two on-campus programs for admitted students in April. Consider joining us April 8–9 or April 22–23, 2018 for a program that will provide you and your family with an in-depth look at Grinnell College. Register online at admission.grinnell.edu/portal/asp for either program. Space is limited, so please submit your program registration as soon as possible.
