Son receive a package in the mail today for merit aid. He received the arrupe scholarship and early action award. $19,500 per year total.
What are the stats to be considered for the Arupe scholarship?
My D received a LMU grant plus EA award for total of $18K, but not a “scholarship”.
I’m curious to know if they look at mid-year grades for the Arupe Scholarship?
@sandjunkie what were your son’s stats if you don’t mind me asking?
He has a 3.8 UW GPA and a 4.5 W GPA. He has a 1470 SAT with a perfect 800 in Math. He is applying to Engineering schools particurlarly software engineering. LMU was not one of his top picks.
My older son is a Sophomore at LMU now studying accounting and entrepreneurship. He loves the place. He could not be happier with his choice. He only got $6k per year merit 2 years ago and I think LMU has become more competitive since.
I was just notified that I received the Arrupe Scholarship of $23K a year + $2K EA award. Very excited - yet I don’t think I will be able to attend.
3.99 UW and 4.85 W GPA; 33 in the ACT, 34 Superscore. ( @Mimi2018 hope this answers your question )
International, Full IB Student; 44/45 prediction
I was accepted early action, and just recieved my financial aid packet a few days ago. They barely gave me anything- was the amount in the mail the total amount they’re offering, or is it just partial?
I believe what you receive in the financial aid packet is the total amount. How much did you receive?
I heard that LMU is rather stingy on Financial Aid, so we were thrilled to receive anything at all. It appears based on stats of students like @chrys1 that the Arupe Scholarships go to students with high GPA/SAT/ACT scores. My D’s scores were high but not that high!
I only recieved $2k which was for the early action award… thats it. I have a 4.03 W, but a pretty low ACT score- 26. Was my dream school but out of the question now:(
Daughter just received acceptance email on Feb 2. But nothing regarding financial aid. She applied regular decision. Also - the FutureLions portal is not working for her. Is the portal working for others?
My daughter received her financial aid in the mail a couple of days ago. LMU gave us about 30k a year. She has a 3.98 UW and 32 ACT. This is one of her top choices.
Did he receive acceptance on the portal and then merit aid in snail mail?
did anyone receive their financial aid/merit aid from regular decision? when is it supposed to come out?
Daughter is still waiting to hear from the school regarding FA/MA. She is regular decision as well. My impression is we will know by the end of this month. Has to be soon as we are now less than two months from the May 1 commit date.
