<p>I sent my admissions counselor an email (I'm not home during business hours very often), but I think they are on spring break right now. I'll be sure to post the reply when I get one.</p>
<p>They are not on spring break yet. Because of Mardi Gras break, their spring break is unusually late, March 23-27. So you should get an answer pretty quickly.</p>
<p>My S got the same letter asking for his signature to accept the Presidential scholarship. I called and asked if he should sign it if he's still undecided. The person I spoke to said that he has until May 1st to sign it and he should wait until he knows he's going to attend before signing. I would like to hear what Lafayette's admission counselor says since I'm not sure who I spoke to.</p>
<p>Thanks for your response, LuckyMe. That is sort of what I thought since it didn't say it was non-binding. My counselor sent me an automatic message saying she'll be out of the office until Monday, but I will let you know then. I'd guess that you are right about that.</p>
<p>Here is what I got from my admissions counselor:

When you sign the information about your scholarship you are not committing to Tulane.

<p>So are you going to sign it and send it to them? I don't know why they would be sending it in the first place. If it's not binding, what purpose does it serve to have you sign something saying you accept their scholarship? Who wouldn't accept it?</p>
<p>That does sound confusing-- I agree-- I'd call the FA office or the admissions office for clarification</p>
<p>Tulane isn't asking you to commit by signing the Presidential Scholarship request. This is what the Admissions Office wrote us:</p>
<p>"No, signing the form does not commit the student to Tulane. Signing the form and returning to our office allows us to assure that the funding will credit to the student's accounts receivable bill on time (should the student decide to commit)."</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
