<p>My DS was offered a full ride scholarship this week to our state university....great! But...they gave only 5 days to consider the offer. Is it ok to ask for more time (2 weeks) to consider the offer since we already made nonrefundable plans to visit his other choices? Thanks for any help.</p>
<p>You can always ask, it doesn’t hurt. They will not (and can not) take away the offer by asking for an extension. </p>
<p>But don’t get your hopes up, they odds may not be in your favor</p>
<p>Well, they want you to accept or decline the scholarship within 5 days . . . but what’s the deadline for your enrollment deposit? Hate to say it, but if the enrollment deadline is unchanged, you can just accept the scholarship for now, and make the enrollment decision later.</p>
