<p>My son has already applied for the engineering Geisinger scholarship but has yet to hear about that one or any other scholarships. I have seen that others have started to receive merit $ and would like to know what the chances are that my son would be given any scholarships. Thank you for your feedback!</p>

<p>Your son falls into the upper 75th percentile if not higher so his chances will increase because of this. That being said being from OOS may hinder his chances. It really depends on the applicant pool though, but more likely than not he should receive some money. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks Adam E…do you think sending in the $200 deposit has any bearing on scholarship $$. I often wonder if showing them that he is going to attend, might take $ away since they would feel that that do not have to woo him and would love to get the full OOS tuition. What is your opinion on this subject??</p>
