a) Yes, actually, I did.
b) IIRC, while WP doesn’t charge tuition, it does offer scholarships for things like special study programs and the like.
I guess I mean something a bit more binding than if you apply and are accepted, you can expect to receive in the neighborhood of x dollars in scholarships/grants and the like.
I have a daughter who attended college on a full scholarship so I am somewhat familiar with the process.
But not until the application was in and she was accepted did the negotiations of real scholarship dollars begin.
