That's probably a good part of the reason why.
Good for them but screws a lot of people up. I wrote them a Why essay, even :(.

We have an ice/snow day in Texas today (lol it's 39 degrees rn), but I think USPS is still working, and my mail usually gets here around 1 CST, so I'll post as soon as I know anything!

I would do some pretty unwholesome things for it to be 39 degrees right now.

Pretty much the entire state has no idea how to handle weather, it's actually incredible.

Dean's Scholarship, 75,000 arrived in the mail today. Also with one-time Dean's Leadership award of 5000 dollars, so technically 80,000.

Edit for more info: 167, 3.65, Live within 5 hour drive of Nashville.

I received my scholarship offer today in Alabama; it is Chancellor's scholarship worth $105,000. Since that is the same amount I got from Duke and the letter says Vandy doesn't negotiate, I will be withdrawing. Good luck y'all!

Were scholarships in a standard envelope or in a larger box (similar to admission package)?

Do they ever increase scholarship offers later in the process, as people drop out of the pool, despite not negotiating?

Very possible it didn't leave campus and get into the hands of USPS until Monday. I got decision mailed 3/2 so maybe they all went in the same batch. We'll see.

well they say they don't negotiate but they actually do. I know someone who successfully negotiated an extra $8,000 a year last cycle which brought them up to almost full tuition

Did that person mention other offers or just about how strongly they wanted to attend, despite financial concerns?
