Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows anyone here who has been awarded the Trustee Scholars scholarship (free tuition)? Just wondering what that student is like as I am sure all the students at Mount Holyoke are fantastic
Since no one else chimed in I will. My daughter is about to enter her second year and has a few friends who were awarded the Trustee Scholar. One also got into Harvard. Most were likely choosing between an Ivy league type school or just missed out on one. I think she mentioned one got a 790 800 on her SAT, I would guess most (if not all) got above 1500 on the SAT.
Thank you! a couple of people did private message me about it but I appreciate any info I can get
My D is a Trustee Scholar. She had straight As with 8 AP classes, 35 on ACT, class president and had done a foreign exchange. Very involved at her school, and showed interest in MHC (visited in the summer and interviewed). She got into most of the schools where she applied (Barnard, Smith, Scripps, George Washington, Bryn Mawr, Grinnell, etc.) but she really felt like Mount Holyoke “felt like home.” The money helped her make her decision, but she got some other good scholarships and opted to go to Mount Holyoke . She LOVES it there! It was a perfect fit for her. :-). I’m only posting this publicly because when we were looking at these CC boards it was so helpful to see stats of the scholarship winners, so hopefully this will be helpful to others.
