<p>Hello everyone! I just found out that I have received the Hopkins 5 award. Can anyone shed some light onto what exactly this entails? </p>
<p>is it a scholarship? did they provide a link?</p>
<p>I’m wondering this too, because I got it as well! 
I can’t seem to find it on their website, funnily enough…</p>
<p>If i had to venture a guess, I’d say it has something to do with free master’s degree if you choose to get it as part of a 5 year BS/MS program.</p>
<p>My son got it also, the email says it caps the students loan responsibility at 5,000 dollars over the 4 years. Therefore Hopkins 5</p>
<p>So what does the $14K grant thing mean?</p>
<p>Grants are money given by the University that does not have to be repaid. Generally comes from JHU 2.7Billion dollar endowment. So don"t sweat it Mr. SwagDaddy. </p>
<p>I also received this award (to my very pleasant surprise!), but I’m a little confused. Is the Hopkins 5 award the same thing as the JHU Grant listed under “disbursements?” </p>
<p>I think it is, the more I look at it… </p>
<p>I called the financial aid office and here’s what it means. A typical JHU financial aid package consists of some grant money and some loan money. Typically, the loans make up 19K total over 4 years. Under Hopkins 5, $14K of that $19K is grant money, and only $5K has to be paid back. </p>
