[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a way to keep students from accepting offer from another school?  Not to be negative, but couldn't they just give a low offer of $500 to keep you from choosing another school. [/quote]
Do you realize how much college costs? $500 is not keeping anyone from choosing a different school. [/quote]

I think the PP meant that Clemson is enticing you not to accept another school now - by promising a scholarship that could be a really small amount.  [/quote]

NP here. I’d be very cautious with Clemson offering merit aid to OOS. It’s a public university that typically gives very limited, if any, merit to OOS students. I’m sure your child is more than worthy of merit aid but if your child is OOS I wouldn’t expect a game changing merit award from Clemson. From another public school with a higher admission rate, like Bama or LSU or ASU, sure but not from Clemson. Good luck. [/quote]

2 years ago my out-of-state son was offered $8,000 in Merit from Clemson. It was obviously not enough to make the school comparable to our in-state options. But then, a month later, we were offered an additional $16,000 in something they called an out-of-state Grant. So, you never know[/quote]
