Hello, I’m currently a freshmen at RBS, and my parents paid way too much this year for my tuition and room and Board etc. I was wondering if there are merit based scholarships that I can apply for from Rutgers. I tried calling Financial Aid, but they said to just fill out my FAFSA and call back. When I called back they gave me vague responses. I was looking through the Rutgers website for merit based scholarship, and I meet the qualifications for some, like the Rutgers Presidential Scholarship, and Scarlet Scholarship, but there are no clear directions of how to apply for them. Can someone help!
Hi as long as you put in your application before December 1 you will be eligible for scholarships
You need to make sure you are looking at scholarships for ongoing students, not looking at renewal criteria for students given a scholarship on entry as freshman. You might need to look at your departmental scholarships.What is your current GPA and course?
Look at the RBS site for scholarships specific to that school. I don’t believe you qualify for the Presidential or Scarlet Scholarships as they are only offered to first year students. However, I’ve seen that RBS has tons of scholarships for continuing students!
