Mercer was on my D’s list. We are from New England but have a place in Florida so D is looking at southern schools, not too big not small. The weird censorship thing is a bummer at the law school (school overall seem to be okay with this?!) We are middle of the road type politically, and aware that some colleges lean left of us. The Lin Wood censor thing is a huge turn off. She loved Berry but too small, Emory is a stretch. Florida State, UCF, Rollins, Eckerd hopefully don’t come with the censorship baggage.
DS attended the interview weekend. Mercer did and amazing job handling the crowds with distancing but still giving tours and information sessions. He has 4.52 W GPA, 8 AP, 4 years varsity sport, great EC’s. Haven’t heard anything yet.

Son attended Presidential Scholarship weekend. Was originally awarded $22K scholarship. 4.0 gpa (100%+) they don’t give above a 4.0, 34 ACT, 2/250, 14 APs (two 4s and the rest 5s), solid EC for what he wants to study, lots of leadership. Keeping all options open because this year has been so unpredictable.
D received a nice box today 2/9 with the Presidential scholarship letter. Attended Scholarship interview on 1/22-1/23. Please share if Stamps scholarship finalists have been notified.

Yes, As @Momma2boyz said, her son has received up to full tuition. Some may receive an increase of a few thousand. Please share how much your daughter has received,
My son’s went from $20K to $26K.
My daughters scholarship offer went up by $5000. I am not sure if that makes it doable…
What was your student’s increase?
Doesn’t state a specific dollar amount. She received full tuition (less HOPE). So if one received 26k+5.5k HOPE i.e 31.5k - So about 5.5k short of full tuition.

My daughter is interviewing at the Heritage Scholarship Day on 2/20. She’s got a 4.25 W GPA and 30 ACT with good ECs, leadership, and volunteering. Her base merit award is 22K and I’m hoping for a decent increase. It looks like the increases that aren’t full tuition are around 5 or 6 thousand. Congrats to you all and good luck to any fellow Heritage folks.
Good luck!

I didn’t realize that my daughter needed to decide by February 26th to accept the scholarship. Did anyone else get an email from their AO saying that? I thought we could weigh all offers and then respond by May 1. She has regular decision applications that she hasn’t heard from.
