<p>Anybody know if we find out about whether we got a scholarship at the same time as when we find out about admission?</p>

2

<p>i think we find out about scholarships later (in March or April), but i could be wrong.</p>

<p>This is one of the schools my son applied to. I think I read on their site somewhere that we'll know "mid April" at the latest. Kind of frustrating from a parent's point of view...that only gives us two weeks to decide (and travel) on the school he will choose.</p>

<p>scholarship information is included in the acceptance letter</p>

<p>my acceptance letter included the scholarship i got</p>

<p>For anyone who has received a merit award, is there a stipulation that you must maintain a certain GPA at Case to retain the award each year? If so, what is the GPA level required?</p>

<p>Back a while ago that was a big issue because so many kids were losing their scholarships. Then the level was a 3.2, I believe, and it has been lowered since along with some other stipulations. It used to be, all you need was a term with less than that level, not the cum. You need to ask these questions specifically, along with stats on how many kids lose these awards each year.</p>

<p>I checked with an admissions counselor today about the conditons that have to be met to renew scholarships: GPA must be min. 2.5 at end of freshman year, and min. 3.0 at end of soph/jr years. There was also a requirement for min. number of credit hours.
My question was specifically about the Trustee scholarship that my son received, but I believe this applies to others as well.</p>

<p>that's not too bad</p>

<p>From CWRU web site:</p>

<p>"One of the measures (although surely not the only one) is your SAT or ACT score. Last year, the median SAT for the entering class was 1320, and 71% of students scoring above the median received a scholarship, with an average amount of about $16,000. However, since SAT is not the only measure, 38% of students scoring below the median also received a scholarship, with an average amount of about $13,000. "</p>

<p>"Freshmen receiving merit scholarships - About 50%"</p>

<p>"Average merit scholarship - $15,000"</p>

<p>The acceptance letter says:</p>

<p>
[quote]
Official notice of this award and any other merit or need based aid for which you qualify will be sent by the Office of Financial Aid when it has completed a review of submitted financial aid documents.

[/quote]
</p>

<p>My question: has anyone received the "official notice" of award letter yet?</p>

<p>If so, how long did it take to get processed after you got the acceptance letter?</p>

<p>If not, does anyone know if there is a date that these will be sent out?</p>
