[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, to apply for the posse as a finalist and actually get the scholarship, you have to apply ED to the school that you've been matched with, which means that if you go forward with the L&C and posse, you apply ED.[/quote]

Wait what? You have to commit to going to the school without knowing whether the scholarship is going to come through??[/quote]

Yes, students selected as Finalist and accepting that spot for the matched school will have to submit an ED application and if chosen as a Posse Scholar following their third-round interview are committed to attending that school.[/quote]

That sucks! What a terrible set up [/quote]

I don’t really understand why the Posse scholarship is set up this way. Doesn’t it mean that if a kid doesn’t get it, they are committed to a school that might not offer aid? It seems against the goals of the Posse scholarship. [/quote]

My recollection is that the kids submit and ED, and if selected, they enter the college under ED with the scholarship.  If they are not selected, they can choose to leave their ED with that college, or it is null and void and they are free to ED elsewhere.  However, this is where timing comes in.  By the time the colleges announce their selections, and the non-selected would be free to ED elsewhere, the ED deadlines have all passed.

So, if a kid decides to stay a finalist and submit to the third interview round, and does not get selected, they can only EA/RD at other colleges.[/quote]
