Salute to excellence recognition dinner invitation

<p>Did anyone else get this today? Is this offered to everyone admitted, or is it 'special' in some way? </p>

<p>Do you live instate near the metro area? Thats probably why</p>

<p>I got the invite. From Metro Detroit, so maybe Foreveralone is on to something</p>

<p>Did any of you receive a scholarship offer? Back in 2009 my son was invited to this after receiving notification of an award…not to get your hopes up :slight_smile: maybe they do it differently now, but back then, it was for candidates with merit awards.
(Nowadays, they seem to notify later about scholarship, so its possible it’s something else.)</p>

<p>I got a scholarship award letter last Monday.</p>

<p>I received a scholarship award last week and was also invited to apply for another based on community engagement.</p>

<p>Which scholarship did you get? Did you receive the invitation by e-mail or by mail? Are you admitted to LSA or CoE?</p>

<p>I got the invitation by email on Friday. I was admitted LSA, and got the Jean Fairfax Scholarship</p>

<p>I just got my invitation today. What’s the purpose of the dinner? Is there any standards for getting invited? </p>
