My son was awarded the faculty scholarship from Invitation to Excellence. His Baylor account was updated with the information. It is a full tuition scholarship, but as a national merit finalist, they will award him free room and board along with free tuition!
He has not received the letter in the mail yet. We certainly did not expect that he would receive this award because he is usually very reserved. At the Friday dinner, he was seated with a physics professor, and the two of them did kind of hit it off. He received a handwritten note in the mail about a week ago from the professor encouraging my son to enroll at Baylor. I am certain that my son will be following up with a thank you note back to the professor very soon!
Congrats on those awarded! Our daughter attended the December 2014 I2E and found out via her gobaylor acct that she awarded this in 2015. We were shocked and beyond thrilled! Does anyone know approximately how many are selected for the faculty sxholarship each year (or even this year)? Thanks and good luck to all still waiting to hear!
I mean she attended the January 2015 I2E event.
HI Everyone, Unfortunately my son got a letter yesterday saying he did not get the award. This pretty much eliminates Baylor as being a viable option due to the expense. I am curious to those who received the award, how many of your students were National Merit Scholars also? And do we know how many faculty awards they give out each year? Thanks!!

It seemed like there were a lot of NMF at the fall I2E! It was an accomplished group 
My NMF daughter did not get the Faculty Scholarship though (which put Baylor out of the running for her too)
