<p>I was recently notified by Williams that they selected me to be the recipient as one of their Tyng Scholarships! I'm really excited, but I can't seem to find too much info about it. From what I've read, it's the same as need based financial aid, but with some grant replacement of summer/work. Also, with some vague "possible" assistance for grad school. </p>
<p>Does anyone know anything more about this scholarship? Especially others that have received it? Thank you!</p>

Does Williams offer need-based scholarships that are distinctive?</p>
<p>Yes. Tyng Scholarships are the most prestigious Williams awards. They are designed to meet a student's demonstrated need, primarily with Tyng Scholarship assistance, for each year at Williams. Further assistance is available for three years of graduate or professional school or the equivalent of summer study or research. Since all applicants who qualify for aid are considered as candidates for the Tyng, no additional application is required. This Scholarship is awarded annually to 7-8 especially talented students.

<p>If you accept, you will have financial aid already lined up for graduate or professional school -- not just for undergraduate study at Williams. Needless to say, this will really get the attention of any grad school that you care to apply to in the future. The Tyng is probably one of the most attractive scholarships that is offered by any school in the US. </p>
<p>Congratulations.</p>
<p>Is it offered to internationals too?</p>
<p>Congratulations! I have friends here who are tyng scholars, and they tend to be insanely talented scholars. you should be very very proud of that accomplishment</p>
