IS that based on PSAT?
What was her score?

These posts aren’t all that helpful without stats - GPA, ACT SAT

It’s a formula. Pretty cool that they are up front like this.
Of course, DC only wants to go to smaller schools that don’t disclose such things. Oh well!!!
Try Kalamazoo, Lynchburg, and Trinity University (San Antonio). They are very transparent.

The exact amount varies by school but they are coming in at roughly half tuition. Still waiting to hear how much more she will get if she gets into the honors programs.

Are your kids instate? Was wondering if OOS kids are eligible. Their website didn't specify whether B/K scholarship was for IS, OOS, or both.
Yes, we are and, yes, OOS kids get it too. Competition is pretty tough though. Good luck.
