<p>My D received an awesome academic merit scholarship and a small travel grant when she received her admissions packet, but she hasn’t received her financial aid award letter yet and we haven’t heard anything about talent scholarships.</p>
<p>Has anyone this year received talent/artistic merit awards in addition to their academic award?</p>
<p>I’m curious about this as well; we heard they’d be awarded at the conclusion of all the auditions.</p>
<p>S and a friend both received 17K AFTER their auditions. Not sure if this was talent or academic money, but I got the impression it was both.</p>
<p>I’m wondering about this, too. My S received his Fin Aid packet, including the Presidential academic merit scholarship, also made the Bacc Honors Program, but website is a bit confusing. On scholarship site, it lists non-auditioned based and audition based scholarships, both of which offer the same dollar amounts. Another page states merit and talent scholarships can be combined; not sure if this means talent could get rolled into the scholarship (top offering is $21K) or offered in addition to the academic merit offer. Last year, my S had a friend who received two separate scholarship offers - Presidential for academic merit and the Theater scholarship for Acting, so it was full Cost of Attendance. He turned it down to attend Emerson, his dream school, with little scholarship offerings. The Fin Aid Office advised to speak to WCA Admissions office to discuss, which I haven’t done yet. He’s still waiting to hear from 2 more schools, and should know by March 19th. I may wait until he’s received all of his notifications to speak to them further.</p>
<p>I was accepted for BFA Musical Theatre as well, and I called Mr.Robin Lewis on Wednesday. He said they have not sat down and discussed talent scholarships yet…since they are in the middle of doing Producer’s.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard about talent scholarship awards? Have they been awarded yet?</p>
<p>Haven’t heard yet.</p>
<p>Just spoke with Westminster Admissions @ Rider. All talent scholarship offers have already been made. Congrats to the lucky recipients!</p>
<p>Did they mail them? Or send an email?</p>
<p>Didn’t ask how; was told “all recipients have already been notified”, so I would take that to mean everyone who was offered a talent award knows by now. I’m guessing by email since that’s how notifications of acceptance to the program were made.</p>
