Scholarships

<p>Has anyone received any scholarship offers yet? Post stats/resume as well so people can compare.</p>

<p>Mine were: The Gold National (4300/yr) and the Presidential Scholarship (5000/yr)
which would be added to the National Merit of 10,000/yr. I was really happy with this offer because thats like a 75% scholarship offer from the number 3 chemical engineering undergrad program in the country. Also, lots of engineering scholarships are available starting sophomore year. </p>
