Merit Scholarships

[slb2be13]

Hi everyone!

I was just accepted to a school with a merit scholarship. As we know, the deadline for our responses back to schools is April 15th. Except, on my merit scholarship letter it says "Please email ______ no later than February 22nd to confirm your acceptance of our Merit-Based Scholarship offer. If we do not hear from you by February 22nd, the scholarship will no longer be available."

Do you think if I accept the scholarship I'm also accepting the offer of admission?? Loyola is in my top picks, but I want to hear back from everywhere before I make my final decision.

Does anyone know if I can accept the scholarship without enrolling?

Thanks everyone!

That's probably something you should call the school about.

Calling the school is a good idea to check for sure, but also because if you need more time to decide, it's a great time to ask for an extension too.
