<p>I am a white girl, and I got the Trustee's Scholarship when I applied (I am a senior now). I applied early action and got the acceptance letter sometime in mid-December; the scholarship letter arrived a week or so before Christmas. The Trustee's Scholarship pays full tuition for all four years.</p>
<p>Tehy are wicked generous. From what i heard, 80% of people who enter WPI recieve some kidn of financial aid before they graduate.</p>
<p>Does WPI still offer a Trustee's Scholarship? I can't find any mention of it on the website. S is an EA applicant to WPI with great grades and scores, tons of ECs and heavily recruited for swimming. Hoping for the best.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure they do. It's not something you apply for; it came as a complete surprise to me. I don't think they advertise it very much.</p>
<p>Thanks Tigrael! S loved WPI but can't attend without substantial aid.</p>
<p>I'm a white male who was accepted to (and subsequently enrolled at) WPI. My stats were pretty good, and I got a full scholarship. Like DocT's daughter, I was also accepted to Harvard, but I couldn't afford it.</p>
<p>ojnabieoot, if you don't mind me asking, what were your stats upon admission? How much more did WPI give you than your other choices?</p>
<p>Zeronax, I don't quite remember everything out of hand, but here's what I do recall:</p>
<p>1st in my class (out of 350ish)
36 ACT
Decent SAT II scores (800 on the math IIc, 740 on the physics, 740 on the writing)
Concurrent enrollment at a community college (taking calculus and differential equations)
Involved in Mu Alpha Theta, Robotics, Model UN, Academic Team, Technology Student Association, and played guitar</p>
<p>As far as merit-based aid goes:
Harvard - nothing
Vanderbilt - nothing
Rice - $8,000 per year
Tulane - $21,00 per year
WPI - $32,000 per year/full tuition (which rises accordingly to raises in the tuition)
Oklahoma City University - Full tuition/room and board/$8,000 stipend (I think)</p>
<p>Unfortunately, due to somewhat complicated family circumstances, I didn't get any need-based aid.</p>
