<p>Does anyone know when merit aid is announced?</p>
<p>an admissions counselor told me that if an accepted student were to receive a merit scholarship, he or she will receive their letter by friday.
has anyone gotten their scholarship package yet? i live in norcal and i haven’t heard yet…</p>
<p>The university is closed starting today. I would assume they were mailed by yesterday at the very latest. At least you live in norcal, hopeful. You will hear before us east coasters!</p>
<p>will it be posted on my.lmu as well? I’m not home this week and can’t get my mail.</p>
<p>We were at LMU Tuesday and the admissions counselor told us they had set a goal for themselves to finish making the merit aid decisions “by Christmas” but didn’t indicate that they were completed yet. Considering the post office is swamped with holiday mail, I don’t think it would be unreasonable to expect it to take well into next week for notifications to be received.</p>
<p>Oddly, on MyAid, it clearly states that freshman awards won’t be announced until April 1st. It was this that prompted me to ask him about merit awards in the first place. While he as very clear that they hoped to have all the merit aid decisions complete, he wasn’t as clear as to when freshman would be notified of those decisions.</p>
<p>@kevin it says on MyAid that there will be no updates from December 20th, 2010 to January 4th, 2011 due to the office move to the Von Der Ahe Building and the holidays. so I don’t think you’ll see anything online change until after 1/4.</p>
<p>I would guess that move might also impact when notices go out through the postal service too.</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing that information, norcalimom - it certainly helps to know what’s going on. I have looked at last year’s threads and it seems like merit scholarships were not received until mid-January at the earliest.</p>
<p>I got my merit scholarship today, it was postmarked Dec. 21, so I guess they sent it out right before they closed</p>
<p>Congratulations, lexid123! And thanks for the info.</p>
