<p>Acceptance letter says "you have been named a Notre Dame Scholar" what does that mean?</p>
<p>It means the student is among the top xx% of accepted students, and the student will receive “preferential aid consideration based on your family’s need”</p>
<p>congrats mfek57</p>
<p>Thanks. Where can I find out more about it? I didn’t see anything on the website.</p>
<p>I’m afraid there isn’t really anything more to find out about it. It is basically an honorary designation, sort of an “attaboy” or “attagirl” from the University, with no other tangible benefit other than the preferred aid consideration, and I do not think you will find out any more detail about what constitutes “preferential” financial aid, or what your aid would have been without the Scholar designation.</p>
<p>Bummer. But thanks for explaining it!</p>
