<p>So I got the Irwin and Joan Jacobs Scholarship, but in the letter that told me, it wasn't clear whether it was for 1 year or 4 years. Also, are there any sort of benefits to being a Jacobs Scholar other than money? The letter said something about special recognition, but I'm not sure what they mean by that. Any insight into this would be appreciated. :)</p>
<p>You will probably get a nice dinner and get to mingle with some alums. There may be some programming activities, but it's a pretty new award. You should write a letter to the founder of Qualcomm thanking him for his generosity.</p>
<p>I am also a finalist for that scholarship. As indicated in FA letter, that is worth $4,000.</p>
<p>So, anyone know yet whether we get the scholarship for only 1 year or 4 years?</p>
<p>It is given annually, and can be refreshed, if you keep doing well.</p>
