My D is in also. Waiting on FA. Fingers crossed! Berg is a gem.
@Mom24boys How did you find out your son was a candidate for the Dana Scholars?
@citybus He got a letter in January telling him about the Dana Scholars and requesting another essay.
DS got letter today regarding merit aid. The letter said need based aid and notification, if selected for one of the honor’s programs would follow in separate letters.
I still haven’t gotten any notice, and I checked my portal. Is that a problem?
My daughter received her merit award letter earlier today. Just checked portal and fin aid awards are now showing. Looks as if she is accepted into the Dana Scholars program as well!
@Tutux2 Congrats! DS just checked portal and it looks like he was also accepted into the Dana Scholars program. I think I will call the admissions office tomorrow and confirm.
@Mom24boys
Congrats to your son as well! Is Muhlenberg high on your son’s list? We are a little overwhelmed here at out house. DD is still waiting for 2 more schools, one of which I know won’t give her enough merit $$, so I keep telling her not to concentrate on that one! All options are smaller LAC’s like Muhlenberg except Pitt ( honors program) and Case-Western (which really isn’t that big)
@Tutux2 At the moment my son’s list is a lot of schools bunched together. He is still waiting on 3 decisions and is visiting Grinnell over Spring Break. Hopefully things will become clearer after April 1. I am afraid this might drag out til the last minute.
My older son was accepted at Pitt (honors) and Case Western. He really liked both schools, but ended up at Northeastern. DS1 is my STEM kid, he’s an EE major and DS2 is 100% social sciences.
My D got her financial aid award information yesterday. Quite a nice package. Still unsure if it will be enough given that the total cost is so high, but certainly generous. I second what was mentioned above…we too are a little overwhelmed.
Is it odd that I haven’t gotten anything yet? No word on my admissions decision or financial aid. Should I call the school?
No word here as well.
My D was invited to write an essay for the RJ Fellows Program which has the same annual stipend as Dana Scholars. They accept fewer in this program and we’re still waiting to hear. We did get a generous FA package compared to others.
No words yet either
Hi All,
My D just got $4,000 Theatre Merit Scholarship but nothing else. I am particularly looking for Grants and Need based money. Does this mean that she does not receive anything else or do you think they send it our separately?
