DS got $37,900 merit/AU grant + Dean's Scholarship. Admitted to Honors Program.

I highly recommend applying to AU Honors- it pretty much seems like first class AU, lol. Student needs to complete 3 additional supplemental essays. But Honors program students (there are about 40 to 80 a year it seems) get first selection of classes, live together on a hall in freshman dorms, move in early, get extra guidance, take some core courses together, and other benefits. A main benefit and reason we applied is that some of the merit scholarship is not based in income.

DS stats include 4.0 gpa, 5 APs. 3 yrs student newspaper with editor sr yr, strong volunteer over 3 years with final summer hired.


Congrats!
