<p>Does Merit based scholarship come with the acceptance letter?</p>
<p>No</p>
<p>And it annoys me since you may need to decide if fordham is a yay or nay quicker than they give you the total amount of aid you qualify for</p>
<p>Does anyone know how long it takes to receive word of merit aid after an acceptance letter?</p>
<p>I actually received my merit aid with my official acceptance package, but it might be possible to receive it later as well. I’m not sure.</p>

<p>With RD usually it comes with the offer of acceptance. Usually requires an SAT north of 1400. But with FAFSA they can give you grant money too…and that is not as restrictive.</p>
<p>I received my merit aid along with my acceptance package</p>
