I was not on the call, but I don't believe there was suggestion of influence on the National Scholarship. It did sound like possible early award of campus based scholarship, but I really don't know yet.

My thanks to the members on this board for wisdom and assistance. My DS still B/UC, but I read the suggestion yesterday to direct call the ROO. MY DS had not actually communicated yet with his current #1 choice (since his list of schools changed quite a bit since September). In any case, he...
