Ed 1/ed2 and merit aid

My OOS D is awaiting ED2 decision. Does anyone have thoughts on whether or not at GW, ED will effect getting any merit award money. I’ve heard some say it matters and others say it does not while others say it depends on the school. Any info would be appreciated. did anyone that got in ED1 receive any merit award money?

Hi! I was accepted into ED1, International Affairs program, and was awarded a merit scholarship. I was worried about it as well, but they were very generous. Good luck!

@LeahCWoo. Thanks for the info and congrats!! Did the merit scholarship come with the acceptance or did it come after and if so how long after?
