<p>Do you know if RPI usually gives medal winners merit money beyond the medal award? I know this may be a silly question because the medal already guarantees applicants 60,000 which seems like a good chunk of change.</p>
<p>I hope they do</p>
<p>Yes, in addition to the Medal award he was given a Leadership scholarship(no application necessary) and a Legacy scholarship because my wife is an alum.</p>
<p>Originaloog: Do you know whether you need to file for financial aid to be considered for the Leadership Scholarship? I had looked on the website but couldn't find any information. Thanks</p>
<p>I don't think you need to file for it...my friend got one last year for being an eagle scout. I think it basically means a free laptop</p>
<p>No, there is no application for the Leadership scholarship and it doesnt seem to be in any of the finaid lit either. When my sons finaid package and included the$4000/yr scholarship it came as a total surprise. It did not give any indication why he was awarded it either.</p>
<p>I didn't get the Leadership Merit originally, but I wrote a letter expressing interest in going to RPI and requested they consider me for it, and they gave me $10k/year!</p>
<p>My first time to CC. Any one know if Legacy scholarship is applicable, if a parent graduated from a Satellite school: Child wants to go to RPI but a parent is an alum of RPI branch at Hartford Graduate Center, Hartford, CT?</p>
