Honors College and Scholarships

<p>I received my acceptance to Pitt on December 6. I think I have a chance at the Honors College. How long does it take after you receive the letter until they send out the scholarship and honors college notifications?</p>

<p>With my acceptance, I was told that I was going to receive information about the Honors College in a week or so. </p>

<p>The scholarship information came in the same envelope as the Honors College packet.</p>

<p>So, I got my letter today saying I was qualified to participate in the Honors College. But there was nothing in the packet regarding scholarships. So, does that mean I am getting nothing?</p>

<p>Or did some of you get a scholarship packet in addition to the honors college packet?</p>

<p>I tried calling the offices today, but I believe they are closed for the holiday.</p>

<p>Suzie, my son's scholarship info came later (maybe 10 days or so after the honors college information). With the holidays, it might be a couple of weeks before you hear anything. Enjoy your holidays!</p>

<p>thanks for confirming that. I thought I had read some posts that said the scholar awards came in a third packet but couldn't find them. That makes me feel better. Enjoy your holidays as well.</p>

<p>Yeah the letter about my full tuition scholarship came about two weeks after my honors college acceptance. I was freaking out thinking that I hadn't gotten any scholarship money, but it just takes a little while.</p>

<p>How do you know when you definitely did not get a scholarship? I got in like a month ago and since then I have just received one packet about Financial Aid and my expected major-- nothing about scholarships. How can I be certain?</p>

<p>I was also uncertain about this so I called them to ask and they said that I was really close, but didnt get anything. I would say that this is the only way to be sure.</p>
