<p>Check your Spire account. Financial Aid awards have been posted for my son (he just heard from his girlfriend that she has her award too.)</p>
<p>He got accepted into Commonwealth and Isenberg for Sport Management, but no merit scholarships. I was hoping for a bit of merit to sweeten the pot. He is eligible for the John/Abigail Adams, so that will shave $1700 off. He will need to send the letter verifying his award, as it isn't on his award.</p>
<p>I hope you all get good news!</p>
<p>UMASS Rarely gives merit scholarships anymore. They mostly help out kids who are needs-based.</p>
<p>do you have to send in the deposits to receive your NET ID or whatever you use to log in the SPIRE account or you can find it in your acceptance packet?</p>
<p>You do have to submit enrollment form and deposit first. I’m pretty sure my daughter’s was emailed to her.</p>
<p>i find this pretty weird, seems like all the other schools (at least the ones i applied and got in) tell you how much you get before you send in the deposits, hope i get a decent amount</p>
<p>question, everyone whos qualified for finalcial aid has to send in the verification forms and the signed tax return sheet right??</p>
<p>Not everyone.</p>
<p>The school is required by the fed. govt. to verify a certain percentage every year, I think it is 30% or so, and the students are chosen at random.</p>
