Hi, I was very surprised to receive a very generous scholarship offer at Western U. I didn't even know it or apply for it. I just got a letter in the mail from them saying that they are offering me this scholarship. This is a free scholarship, meaning no future obligation or string attached(Not the Armed Force, WICHE, or National Health Corp. Scholarships). I am just SO thrilled! I have already liked Western U. when I interviewed there. This offer has definitely made the Western U. very very attactive. It shows that they do care about students, and is doing their best to help students.

I am just wondering if they give out scholarships to everyone got accepted so far to attract students, or am I just so lucky?!

Put aside the financial matter, I am still interviewing and trying to decide on which school I like the best. Is it OK to tell other schools that about this offer, and see if they would match it? How to do it skillfully? Any suggestions? Thanks!

How long after receiving the acceptance letter did you receive the scholarship letter?
 
i got a sort of small scholarship, and i got the offer before getting the acceptance. in fact, i still haven't received the acceptance package.

Hi exlawgrrl, do you mind telling how much they offer you? If you don't want to post this, you can PM me. Thanks.

I just receive a letter of acceptance, I suppose they will still send the acceptance package? I don't know if they will send it before or after we put down the deposite though.
 
Oops, I just realized that double-posted. After I posted in the first time, I couldn't find my first posting, so I posted another one. Sorry.

In response to the questions:

1. I got the acceptance letter early-mid October, and the scholarship letter yesterday.

2. PM me for stats.
