I’m looking for any info regarding what to expect during the Honors interview weekend. Are the participants notified of acceptance into the William Aiken Fellows during that weekend or at a later date? Also , are they notified of scholarships that weekend or at a later date? Any and all info would be greatly appreciated . Thanks .
Results are coming out. Anyone received their notification and invitation to William Aiken yet?
I was accepted into the program, has anyone else heard?
My son was accepted into William Aiken last week via Skype .
I also heard a few weeks ago.
I also heard a week or two ago, but I have not yet received scholarship information in the mail. I believe it was supposed to arrive by Wednesday. Have you all received any mail regarding scholarships?
@rbrad1997 I believe @carolinamom2boys has more info about this than I do.
I have no received my letter in the mail either.
@rbrad1997 I sent you a PM
Sent you a PM carolinamom2boys. Thanks!
I received an email about my scholarship. Scholarship will be available on MyCharleston today at 5pm EST.
DS16 got his as well.
My daughter did as well.
Has your daughter visited yet @Themclos .
@carolinamom2boys - She will be visiting next week - the 18th & 19th, for the Accepted Student Weekend, with my wife. Friday is primarily an honors college agenda, then Saturday will be the “main” event. She was invited to a peer to peer lunch with the Dean and students from the College of Math & Sciences Saturday as well.
So, a very full agenda, which will allow her to get a feel for the school, the marine biology program, the honors college and the city.
The next 5 weekends we have 9 college visits scheduled between the girls (unless a couple drop off, which may happen). We have already visited the University of Miami, which made quite an impression on my marine science/environmental science oriented daughter.
Will let you know how the visit goes - if they tell me. I am on a somewhat need to know basis, and they may decide that dad does not need to know 
I hope they enjoy the weekend.
My financial aid package is available online and it’s honestly not what I was expected. Over 4 years it puts my family and I at about $75k in loans.
Also, what does it mean by transportation and personal misc??? We pay the school for that stuff??
@Chopinspiano No. It’s an estimate of additional expenses . You’re instate , so your transportation will not be anywhere near that estimate . You pay tuition, room and board and technology fees etc. All schools add in additional items to their COA so that people have a realistic estimate. Was you department scholarship and Life scholarship included on the package? If not, make sure to subtract those numbers.
@carolinamom2boys My departmental scholarship requires a separate application since it’s a possible major. I have merit and Life included in the package. I’ll subtract transportation and personal misc. from the cost.
I wish I knew the results of the Ketner scholarship but I have to wait a little longer to hear back.
I hope it works out for you.
Hi, congrats to all on scholarships. I was wondering if scholarships by 5 was also for non honors students or only honors?
