We are in a similar situation with submitting both forms and our daughter being awarded the Deanâs Scholarship of 20K. Should we assume there is no potential, additional merit to come and only possibly aid? I donât believe we will qualify for aid, so if additional merit is out of the question at least weâd know this is the bottom line for planning purposes and decision making.
Congrats to your daughter on her scholarship! In Fordham threads from the last few years, there were some additional âtuition awardsâ, merit based, given to some students who had initially just received just the Deanâs Scholarship. These awards were given a few months after EA acceptance/ 20k award. There was a comment last year that they may do it like this so there is an opportunity to evaluate the regular decision applicants when allocating the remaining merit money.

In the same boat here. NMSF with no merit in the acceptance letter. Hoping there is still a chance!

Thank you for sharing; Iâm sorry it worked out that way - seems strange! I wonder if they thought she would go elsewhere because her stats appear to be much higher than even the top 25% of applicants. Have you considered that this may have been a yield protection move by the university?

Our son is also a NMSF and was accepted with the Deanâs scholarship of 20K; not the NMSF scholarship. We too are hoping there will be more merit aid and FA. We submitted the FAFSA and CSS Profile.

My kid is in the same situation. No updates on honors college and presidential scholarships.

Congrats to your daughter! My daughter was also admitted with a Deanâs Scholarship and she had hopes of receiving the Recognition Scholarship.
Her acceptance letter had interesting wording about the Deanâs Scholarship, though. âThe Deanâs Scholarship is an annual award of at least $20,000 for each year of undergraduate study with an estimated minimum value of $80,000 over four years.â
Could this mean that she might be getting more funds, if they become available? Weâre all keeping our fingers crossed.

My son received an email to set up access to the Fordham.edu portal for accepted students. There was a link to financial aid but only stated that our FAFSA and CSS profile were received, no FA package yet (which was no surprise but thought weâd try.) Iâm guessing the âFA information will be released starting January 17thâ is accurate but hopefully sooner than later.

My student just received this in an email:
Congratulations on your admission to Fordham University! We are excited to welcome you to our campus and our community.
We recognize the importance of financial aid in your upcoming decision. For maximum consideration for merit and need-based financial aid, students must complete the financial aid process.
We will begin sending financial aid offers (which may include merit and/or need-based financial aid) to our Early Action students on January 18, 2023, and continuing on a rolling basis through early February. As we are sending these offers on a rolling basis, not all Early Action students will receive their financial aid offers at the same time.
Fordham University will be closed starting December 23, 2022 and will reopen on January 3, 2023.

It doesnât look like anyone has received the Cunniffe Scholarship (full ride) yet. Could it be that maybe they just arenât on the CC site or are maybe staying silent?
If someone is offered full tuition for NMSF, is there a possibility it could later be upgraded to Cunniffe Scholarship?

I think the Cunniffe doesnât come out until later. I remember a poster a couple of years back who had a kid who got the full tuition first (told him with his acceptance), and a few months later awarded him the Cunniffe (full ride.)
