Background: my son was offered a full-tuition+ scholarship (cello performance) at a state university. There is another university in the same system and the head of strings, as well as the cello professor, have both indicated that they really want him. He hasn't been admitted yet since he just submitted his audition a week ago Friday, but hopefully, he'll hear in the next week or two.
What would be the protocol for letting the second school know that he got a full-tuition+ scholarship from the first school? Wait until he's admitted and see if he's offered any scholarship and then if there's either no scholarship or a smaller scholarship, bring it up? Don't bring it up at all?
That scholarship is really tempting (me) because it will make the school much more affordable. My son might be inclined towards the second school because it's a conservatory vs. a music school.
Thoughts?
