<p>Does anyone know about how many students a year get this scholarship?</p>
<p>I’ve often wondered this myself. My D got it when she was going through the college process. I think they give it to students whom they really want to matriculate and who, very likely, have other, “better” choices. These students would likely be at the top of the class and at the high end of the admitted students “stats.” She used Gettysbury as her safety, so we kind of knew she would not attend unless she did not receive other acceptances. Too bad. It’s a really nice scholarship. </p>
<p>Gettysburg, BTW, is a GREAT school!!!</p>
<p>My D was accepted to Gettysburg with a Presidential Scholarship. She will be Class of 2014!</p>
