[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are not academic merit scholarships! [b]This year, in one of the most prestigious HS magnet program in MCPS, the 2 kids that got the BK scholarship are at the bottom of the class.[/b] Kids with much better stats and international awards like gold olympiad medals were not selected. 
It is ok to use these scholarships to attract some kids, but UMD needs to define what the merit means to avoid creating false expectations that academic merit is the intend. That's in the spirit of honesty and transparency that any education institution should be operating on. [/quote]

LOL. Talk about a sore loser. :)

You need to study the origin of B/K scholarship before running your mouth. B and K were separate scholarships with different yet specific purposes. UMD still tries to live with spirits of the original intent. And shut up. [/quote]

UMD states "This exceptional scholarship opportunity is offered to only a select group of applicants who have demonstrated significant academic leadership and accomplishment in high school.."

I have no problem with "UMD still tries to live with spirits of the original intent" but they needs to be transparent with that. This is what the post is about.[/quote]
