<p>My Daughter just got an email:</p>

<p>Our Board of Trustees has approved a new merit scholarship program at Muhlenberg. This new opportunity raises our top-end merit scholarship from $18,000 to $40,000! med at students who present a combination of superb academic credentials, outstanding extracurricular contributions, and excellent character, the new scholarships will join Muhlenberg’s current array of merit scholarships and talent awards which range in value from $1,000 to $18,000, and can be renewed for all four years.</p>

<p>is there a name for the scholarship?</p>

<p>The new scholarship is called the Henry Melchior Muhlenberg Scholarship and will be awarded to 5 students for class entering in Fall 2015. The next level is the Presidential Scholarship $18,000 to 10,000 per year. Didn’t there used to be an award in between these two amounts. I wonder if they are giving one larger award but to many fewer applicants.</p>

<p>@Mom24boys, I don’t think there was an intermediate award but there are three honors programs that add on a stipend to the Presidential Award- Dana, Honors and RJ. Are they eliminating those next year? Students can also get a talent award on top of the Presidential Award. <a href=“http://www.muhlenberg.edu/main/aboutus/finaid/applyingForAid/merit.html”>http://www.muhlenberg.edu/main/aboutus/finaid/applyingForAid/merit.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

@LeftofPisa Son received an invitation today to apply to Dana Scholars so I know at least that program is not being eliminated.

Congrats to your son @Mom24boys!

My D was invited to apply for a scholarship last week and the letter said, “Take this as a good sign”. A letter arrived today for D which I did not open but the outside says You’re In! :smile:

@bopper @Mom24boys I could not find any info on the new scholarship on their website. Could you provide a link or details on qualifications? Thanks!! That would help tremendously!
