[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ tells all seniors to write the value of their scholarships on those forms. Seniors who are receiving full scholarships to a service academy aren't any different from seniors receiving merit scholarships to any other college or university.

Cooper Union, for instance, until recently had no tuition. Every student was on full tuition scholarship and the school would tell students what the value of that scholarship was so they could inform their high school guidance office.  The service academies fall into the same category.

My TJ kid received a full ride to one of the top universities and he was not told to write a certain amount on the form. He had to figure out on his own adding up the tuition, room & board etc. and complete the form.[/quote]

Didn't the school offering the free ride give a dollar amount as to what it was worth? My child was a NMF, so we received a lot of information from various schools about full ride scholarships and they all had a dollar amount listed. The schools were very clear as to how much their full ride scholarships were worth.

No one told my child to write a certain amount on the form, he was told to write the amount of the value of his merit scholarship. We found that out in the paperwork the school had sent us about the scholarship and that was the figure my child used. It is the same for the kids who go to the service academies. The academies add up the value of tuition, room, and board and that is the value of the full ride scholarship each student earns, so that is the amount the student writes on the end of senior year forms.

No he was not and he was a national merit scholarship winner. [/quote]

Which school was it? I have a stack of papers at home listing all the various NM full rides and full tuition plus scholarships my child was offered.  It is very easy to get this info from the schools. In fact, I have felt as though they are constantly calling and emailing and sending regular mail that includes the amounts they are offering in big print.
