<p>My S just a letter saying he is offered a scholarship. Is this different than WUE?</p>

<p>MOM Looks to me like this is separate from WUE. Looks like ASU regards WUE as a “tuition reduction program” which, as you know, only applies to certain majors at certain campuses. </p>

<p><a href=“https://students.asu.edu/admission/wue[/url]”>https://students.asu.edu/admission/wue&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>On the other hand, the New American scholarships are independent of major/campus and can be estimated here:</p>

<p><a href=“https://students.asu.edu/scholarships/estimator[/url]”>https://students.asu.edu/scholarships/estimator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I did try this estimator with and without using a WUE eligible state and got the same response. But there is also no box to indicate program and campus so it wouldn’t know about WUE eligibility anyway.</p>

<p>If they are separate, you still need to find out if they will stack. I don’t know about ASU, but I do know of at least one other WUE school which would not let a student have both their Presidential scholarship and the WUE. In that case, they were given the choice and the WUE was actually a better deal. Course, the decision was easy for them because nearly every major at that school is WUE eligible.</p>

<p>Hello StemFamily,</p>

<p>That is good news about WUE and NAS-- I have twins and the other child did not recieve anything yet. They should make it easier…to pay for college.</p>

<p>My D is leaning strongly toward ASU also but she will be on the Tempe campus. She also received a New American scholarship (the estimator was right on) but she is (or should I say we as her bill-footing parents are) very fortunate she is a NM Finalist so the lack of WUE on the Tempe campus is a moot point for us. </p>

<p>She is doing an overnight in a couple weeks. I’m guessing she’ll come back even more excited about ASU.</p>

<p>Hello both of my boys are leaning towards ASU… One will be at West and the other at Poly. Both have a WUE major. I would not let them go unless they had a WUE major. It worked out for both of them. Still waiting to hear from the other schools now.</p>
