<p>I'm applying EA and judging by my last chances thread, most people on this forum think I'll get scholarship money to USD. When will I find out the scholarship I received? Will I find out in December when I get my acceptance decision or will it be later in the year when RD decisions come out?</p>
<p>Son received scholarship with admissions letter. If you don't get it then, you won't get it.</p>
<p>One thing to keep in mind - if you apply EA this year that the time frame can vary of being notified. One son received his packet the week before Christmas - but a family friend received his packet with scholarship in mid-February. Just depends on how many early applicants they get and can process. </p>
<p>Not everyone with equal stats gets the scholarship money there - better bet if you are in top 5% of your class with excellent stats.</p>
