<p>I received a $25,000 "CAS Scholarship," which from what I have heard is supposed to be granted to CAS Presidential Scholars. However, I did not receive a letter stating that in the mail, so is this just $25,000 in merit-based aid? Also, I received a $6500 "CAS Eckhouse Scholarship."</p>
<p>Has anyone received a letter stating that they've been chosen to be a Presidential Honors Scholar?</p>
<p>You are invited to be a CAS Presidential Honors’ Scholar if you are in top 5% of the entering class. Please note, however, not all CAS Pres. Scholars receive money.</p>
<p>It sounds like you received one of the better FA packages at NYU.</p>
<p>Forgot to add link with description of CAS Presidential Honors Scholars’ Program:</p>
