<p>Anybody familiar with Marquette's Honors Program? DS was invited to apply,
looks like they accept 100, very small. Plus' and minus' ??
Thanks.</p>
<p>We also received a letter about Scholarship Contests for each of the 7 colleges.
Anybody familiar with this? Thanks.</p>
<p>Student can join this group and ask they will get answers from current students - <a href=“New Marquette University Class of 2016: Real Students, Real Answers | Facebook”>New Marquette University Class of 2016: Real Students, Real Answers | Facebook; . Scholarship tests are at certain dates for different colleges if you live too far it might not be worth the trip unless combined with a visit to the school. You can find out more here [Admissions</a> Event Registration](<a href=“http://www.marquette.edu/explore/event-competition.shtml]Admissions”>http://www.marquette.edu/explore/event-competition.shtml)</p>
<p>Happy New Year!</p>
<p>Scholarship contests are worth going to if you are in driving distance…otherwise I wouldn’t bother as there are so many competing for a few scholarships. 3years ago my son was lucky enough to win one of the eng. 5000 per year ones although he chose to go somewhere else. I forget how many people took the test but I know it was over 500 with only 8 given (I think that was the amount) . Worth trying for if you live nearby.</p>
<p>Kjcphmom- Thank you for the information. I came to the same conclusion about plane travel for limited scholarship opportunity and the fact that we cannot schedule an overnight the same week as the competition. Kind of an expensive trip to plan without knowing amount of merit award and no student overnight availability, the week we would need to be there. … oh well…</p>
<p>Does anyone know when the scholarship contests for the various schools will be sent out? I got the Honors College application in the mail, but have not received anything about contests for each school.</p>
<p>Here is the link with details for this year’s contests. Some of the information is still pending. Good luck!
