There is no mention of finances in the letter, does that mean he got no $$?
fin aid & scholarship only came in the mail for me, i was ED1
The acceptance letter states financial info will be provided in admit packet. Assume that means mail. Not sure if it refers to need based, merit and/or arts merit.
My daughter was accepted ED2 and her financial aid package cam in the mail a few days later. Every admitted student gets an “acceptance packet” with your official congratulations letter and other information. If you receive any financial aid, that will also be in the packet.

does anyone know when you know about presidential fellows?
@cmo12345 wondering the same thing…I would think that those students who were asked to apply would receive a yes or a no.
I was asked to apply to the presidential fellowship and have not heard anything about merit… hoping there’s still a chance
If the process is the same as last year, the Presidential Fellowship offers will be included in the mailed packet.
@3CollegeMom, for the Presidential Fellowship, will Bucknell send letters to the people who applied for the fellowship but did not get it? I’m wondering if they just send good news, or if they also send bad news.
