<p>Please share what Merit Scholarship you were offered from Clarkson University and an idea of what your grades/scores were. Thank you.</p>
<p>bump… i’m a rising senior in high school looking at Clarkson, RPI, WPI, VA Tech… i’m also curious what folks have received</p>
<p>bump…i’d also like to know the answer to this!</p>
<p>My husband and I are both Clarkson grads. Today we received a fundraising request, and I was surprised and pleased to see that they claim 9 of 10 students have “need” and qualify for financial aid. (I suppose that could include loan-only aid).</p>
<p>Our son was a high-stats college applicant a few years ago. Due to travel logistics, he did not apply to Clarkson. At RPI he was offered $10K merit scholarship and some loans. Based on some tentative emails with Clarkson, I was under the impression that they would have offered more. </p>
<p>FYI - We were impressed with our Clarkson experiences. We have 2 kids in college right now, and we still donate to Clarkson. It is not one of the tippy top prestigious schools, but they give an excellent education and have a great placement department. In recent years they’ve added more research emphasis and improved facilities.</p>
<p>…what merit scholarships have you received?</p>
<p>…bump</p>
<p>Poolshark- I hope that by now you have received your financial aid/scholarship information. My son was admitted well over a month ago with no mention of scholarship/aid (though we LOVED the musical folder his acceptance arrived in-my son showed it to all his friends…great marketing) He received large merit scholarships from colleges with higher average stats. Last week he received his aid letter that included $20,000/per year in merit plus small aid. He/we could not have afforded to pay full tuition and had taken Clarkson off his list. Needless to say… its back on :).</p>

<p>When I got my Scholarship/Financial Aid stuff I got a scholarship from Clarkson that is worth 22,000 and I got a grant for 14340. I also got 2,300 in grant money I guess from my FAFSA. 
I don’t really know what sort of scholarship they offered me though…</p>
