<p>I’ve gotten conflicting reports from 3 different people I’ve spoken to (or played phone tag with – 2 from drama dept, and 1 from financial aid office) as to whether any or all merit based awards have been offered for MT. Has anyone received an offer or know anything? It’s getting late (which probably means they have been offered and we didn’t get one), and decision time is near.</p>
<p>I spoke to head of MT on behalf of S who was accepted. My S did not receive any merit scholarship. I was told small talent merit scholarships existed and had been handed out. Not certain of the definition of “small.” I was made to believe certain types of talent which were especially needed got these scholarships. </p>
<p>I did read on another thread that the over-riding Elon philosophy was to use their $ to keep the overall cost of attending down for everyone who attends. </p>
<p>My S is not attending Elon. $ was certainly a consideration, not the only one, but it was one.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the response! It sounds like there’s nothing more coming - we got a decent grant, but I believe it was need based, not merit (but maybe a combination).</p>
