<p>Hey guys, first time on college confidential here.</p>
<p>Last weekend I went to CHOICES for JMU and I really like the school, probably #1. For example when I got my acceptance from Bryant I got a $14,000 renewable scholarship upon acceptance. Would I be expecting to see any money from JMU any time in the future? Or did you receive money upon acceptance? I live in NJ so tuition is pretty high for out of state and this is definitely a problem and something to consider...</p>
<p>Thanks :D</p>
<p>JMU is a publicly funded college so you won’t see the money you have received from Bryant</p>
<p>I believe that JMU usually sends scholarship information a little later. Closer to when they send for RD applicants. Many scholarships at JMU are awarded by the major program.</p>
<p>JMU does not have a lot of scholarship money to offer overall… but it would be worth contacting the department for your potential major to ask if they have scholarships to award, and if there is a separate application to be considered. </p>

<p>Looking at the Tuition, Room, and Board at Bryant, if I read it correctly it looks like the $14,000 scholarship would bring the cost of Bryant to about equal of the OOS Tuition, Room, and Board at JMU.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your acceptances, and your scholarship offer from Bryant!
