[quote user="mirm90"] Are there merit based scholarships available to students with high ACT/SAT scores and GPAs? [/quote] Hey, I'm sure someone from Admissions will give you the official answer soon, but I can tell you about my experience as someone at Butler on merit scholarships. I have...

Hmm I haven't, but I've heard of Mansfield! Recently a mom of a student emailed me and asked me why I chose Butler, and here is pretty much what I told her. 1. Size Butler has all the conveniences of a large University, but has a comparatively small student population. Butler has about 4,000...

I just applied to Butler and I'm hoping that if I'm accepted I'll be considered for departmental scholarships. On my application I said that I plan to major in Elementary Education, so I'm guessing that means I'd be considered for a scholarship from the College of Education, right...

Ok, I feel really bad about not posting lately. I had all these great intentions of posting while I was traveling, and as I stated, it didn't quite turn out that way. For anyone who doesn't know, doing international recruitment is just a blur--lots of airports, buses, etc. But it's also lots...

Alright so those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that our president, Bobby Fong, is a close personal friend of mine. (By this I mean we danced at a party one time - go into my September archives and check it out.) Since Bofo and I are buds, I proposed that we invite him to our last...
