Does BU send merit scholarship letters/emails after acceptance letters or with?
My D was accepted today to College of Engineering but didn’t receive a mention of any merit money. I know I shouldn’t assume but she got merit money from all her other schools, so I’m surprised there’s nothing from BU.
Hello! I received a scholarship from BU that seems to be both merit and need-based. I did not receive any email, but it was mentioned in my acceptance letter on their website, as well as in the financial decision tab. However, the scholarship was also need-based so I’m not sure if it will be the same case for you.
Hope this helps!
Thank you! Helps 
My daughter applied for a scholarship - not Trustee or President - but there was no word with our acceptance or on our portal.
@prdmomto1 ah, maybe that’s it. Do you have to apply for scholarships at BU or are you automatically considered when you apply?
@Aeg203 Consideration for the Presidential scholarship is automatic. The Trustee scholarship requires an additional essay on the Common App. I am not aware of other merit scholarships offered by BU that require a separate application. .
@PrdMomto1 thanks for the info!
Thanks @TomSrOfBoston !
There are National Merit Scholarships and scholarships for students in FIRST Robotics.
@PrdMomto1 thanks! What are National Merit Scholarships? Is that based on PSATs? She didn’t do FIRST Robotics as we don’t have that here as far as I know.
@TomSrOfBoston thanks for clarifying that for me!
@PrdMomto1 sound like we are in similar boats
