<p>Congratulations to your daughter! My son jus got an offer from L & C too, an increase of $20,000+ over 4 years.</p>

<p>What is TASP?</p>
<p>I received a scholarship from the University of Michigan</p>

<p>Bethievt, Congratulations to you and your son!<br>
TASP is the Telluride</a> Association Summer Program, a free humanities program that takes place at Cornell, UT, Umich or WashU. There is currently a very active CC thread of kids who have applied this year.<br>
Have you and your son visited L&C?</p>
<p>Yes, we visited L & C, but in the summer. Gorgeous campus and Portland is a wonderful city. I've also been in touch with a not-so-recent grad (friend of my brother-in-law) who is now in the foreign service. He absolutely raved about the school. My son chose to apply because of the International focus.</p>

<p>My daughter's awards to date:</p>
<p>College of Wooster -- $16,000
Pacific Lutheran -- $15,000
St. Olaf -- $7,500</p>
<p>Woo hoo!!</p>
<p>Her stats. I don't remember the exact numbers. She does not have a perfect GPA (a few B's and even a C+ :eek: ). Her GPA is slightly over 4.0 (weighted). I think! Or at least it was before the C+. SAT 2100+. EC's: mathletes, cross country, environmental club, singing -- interested in languages and science. </p>
<p>Anyway, she is happy as a clam right now, getting these offers . . . The nice thing about both Wooster and PLU is that one does not have to maintain a certain GPA to keep the scholarships. PLU said they would take away the name (Presidential Scholarship) if the GPA goes below a certain threshold, but the student still gets the $$$.</p>
<p>My S just got a letter from Tulane, notifying him that his scholarship offer had been increased from $18k year to $22k year. </p>
<p>Needless to say, there was much rejoicing! It is one of his top three choices at this point, if not the front runner.</p>
<p>WOW, fantastic! Congrats to Moonmaid's S and mstee's D, and all others who've recently received nice offers!</p>

<p>DD just received notice from Susquehanna University that she has received a Susquehanna Scholarship ($11,500 X 4 = $46,000 min. 3.0 GPA required). Will have to see FA award but glad to hear she's wanted!</p>

<p>HeliMom - congratulations! I looked at the Hunter Honors College website <a href="http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/honorscollege%5B/url%5D">http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/honorscollege</a> , and that just sounds like such a great opportunity, especially since it includes the generous funds for study abroad. I wish I had known about this for my own son!</p>
<p>D accepted to Denison with Paschal Carter Scholarship. 131K over four years. She has completely managed her college search--I was stunned!</p>
