freesia Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I think I did start one in August, but it hasn’t gone anywhere. I also don’t have the time to do the running list. So I release my thread to you. I will try to update/delete it tomorrow. It’s on the college board. Si far ds is into Cedarville University and Letourneau. He received nice scholarships from both. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freesia Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 We have some more: Messiah University , ds of Freesia Calvin University , ds of Freesia Lipscomb University, ds of Freesia We are in the confusion of keeping all the threads of offers and more to do. He’s been invited to apply for honors at a few of the colleges. He thinks he’s set up admitted student portals, but I don’t think he has. He is not great with this kind of detail and, while we are working on him keeping track of his life and obligations, I am helping a lot with this because he really needs as much scholarships money as he can get. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 @freesia When all the dust has settled in the spring, I would love to hear how you and your Ds make/made your choice.

We are still waiting on Grove City which he lived when we visited. However, if a miracle happens and we get the money over and above tuition and room and board, he really wants to go to an aviation program. So, that would be LeTourneau most likely. The flight lab fees would be something like $125000 or so extra, and not covered with standard financial aid. So, it’s not looking good. But the original plan was mechanic engineering—he could work a few years and learn to fly then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was Mechanical Engineering undergraduate (at a school with no Aero program) there was a flying club that I joined for a small amount and then had access to the plane they owned for a few hours a month. It was a long time ago, but if he is interested in getting his license, that would be something to watch for. My funds ran out about the same time I got my license.

DS is also interested in aerospace and aviation, and one of the schools he applied to charges quite a bit for the flight instruction. I've heard that students often take as many flying hours as they can during the summer at more reasonable local airport prices to offset some of the cost. It might be something to look into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s good to know. Our local airport does have a program. All flying fees would be “extra” for us, so it will still take a miracle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sometimes they send another letter upping it or give another one. Sometimes the scholarship letter comes completely separately from the acceptances. Sometimes you do need to wait until the total financial aid comes out. So there is no one way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competitive scholarship application deadlines are approaching for her schools and idk how long those will take. Several use the app/essay to screen and sift. Second level is an interview or a scholarship competition weekend event in Jan or Feb, so definitely spring before we hear.
