Scholarship Offer on a Deadline
I received a scholarship offer with a condition that I must accept by 03/15. I have not heard back from other schools yet and want to make the most informed decision possible. Is it possible to have this response deadline pushed out? If so, how should I go about getting an extension? Any help/thoughts appreciated!

Re: Scholarship Offer on a Deadline
It doesn't hurt to ask the scholarship offering school for an extension at the same time you ping the schools you're waiting for to very politely let them know you have an impending deadline to accept a scholarship. I don't see any harm in trying to work this from both ends.
