<p>Does anyone know whether Shipman nominations have been completed?</p>

2

<p>I recall that they had been sent out by this time last year, but I don't know for certain this year.</p>

<p>My suggestion is to email the LSA Scholarship Office and ask: <a href="mailto:lsascholarship@umich.edu">lsascholarship@umich.edu</a></p>

<p>I think the LSA scholarship letters which can be 5,000 - 20,000 per year have been sent.
Don't know about Shipman though.</p>

<p>Not completed. Quite a few letters have been sent out though. If you have any specific questions, send me a pm.</p>

<p>The website says:
Prospective nominees must be admitted to the University of Michigan no later than January 15. Recipients will be notified by March 30. (<a href="http://www.umich.edu/%7Eshipsoc/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.umich.edu/~shipsoc/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p>

<p>Also:
Shipman Scholars and semifinalists will be notified by mail in late March.
The Shipman weekend will be held March 29-31, 2008.

<p>I just received a Shipman semifinalist/nominee notification letter in the mail today, so apparently the selection process has yet to be completed. Good luck to all who are nominated, and I look forward to meeting you in March!</p>

<p>Congratulations Lobgent.</p>

<p>Is Shipman only for LSA?</p>

<p>No, for any undergraduate student at UM.</p>

<p>Hey lobgent, see you there!</p>

12

<p>Hey, I just got a $40,000 scholarship for four years. Anyone else get this letter?</p>

13

<p>Ducktape - yep, got that too. Mine was for 80K but I'm assuming the letter had the same basic format...</p>

<p>Consider it confirmed.</p>

<p>Whether you are in-state or out-of-state comes into play in a material way in the amount of the award. Congratulations to you both, it's a great achievement!</p>

<p>ps Ducktape, if you are headed to MIT I hope you tell the UMich folks quick so that money might be made available to someone else.</p>

15

<p>Well, this may change things. I haven't matriculated at MIT yet (we don't do so until April), so this adds a whole new dimension to the decision making. I will definitely let them know as soon as I decide- one of my close friends is someone who's really banking on good financial aid from Michigan in order to attend.</p>

16

<p>Ducktape, my son received that one too. We are so thankful.</p>

17

<p>damn, it seems like most people have been nominated.
I was really hoping for that one...</p>

18

<p>Have all the Shipman nominees been notified? Have all the LSA scholarship notices been sent?</p>

<p>^tetrahedr0n?</p>

<p>I sent in a polite decline today - I suppose a second round of scholarship offers will be going out at some point to utilize money left over from scenarios similar to mine?</p>
