2017-3-7 昨天妹妹转过来一个伊妹儿，说是拿到了迈阿密大学的提供的全免学费奖学金： Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive the Isaac Bashevis Singer Scholarship, one of the highest academic honors given to incoming students at the University of Miami, which covers full tuition for four years of undergraduate study. In awarding you this scholarship, we recognize your exceptional academic achievements. You were selected from an elite group of students to be part of one of the most talented and diverse classes in the history of the University of Miami. It is also my pleasure to invite you to become a member of the prestigious Foote Fellows Honors Program. As a Foote Fellow, you will have maximum freedom to explore a multitude of educational resources within the curricular framework of your school or college. Foote Fellows have access to unique learning opportunities and educational guidance within their school or college and many are able to pursue additional majors and/or minors, as well as study abroad. 迈阿密大学每年大约授予50-60名新生这类奖学金，是所有300名被邀请去面试学生的1/5，机会还是蛮大的说。 这是像迈阿密大学一样排名在前二十到五十之间的二流学校，和全美一流大学竞争优秀生源的唯一妙招。排名前十之内的学校，提供的学生按需奖学金数额，对中等收入家庭出身的学生，会有更大的诱惑，而对收入富裕的家庭，学费根本不在考虑之内，吸引力也不是很大。所以除非学生特别喜欢迈阿密大学的某一专业，否则仅靠提供奖学金，很难收到全美最顶尖的学生。
