<p>Has anyone admitted RD been awarded a merit scholarship?</p>
<p>Does anyone know the details of Lehigh's National Merit scholarship? Their webpage says students who are NMFs will be awarded $1K or $2K. Does anyone know how they decide which you'd get, and is that per year, or just a one-time award?</p>
<p>I was admitted with the Dean’s Scholarship of $10,000 in 2012. It’s been raised to $12,000 now, so $6,000 per semester. If the merit aid increases again, you will receive the same award though; I asked about increasing my scholarship from $10,000 to $12,000, but it was only from this or last year on, which is really unfair. I forget the exact statistic, but only very few students receive merit aid/Dean’s Scholarships. It was somewhere less than 10% I believe, but don’t quote me on that.</p>
<p>As for the National Merit scholarship, good question, but I believe it should be every year. I didn’t receive it, so I wouldn’t know, though I’d expect that the higher your PSAT score is, the award you receive is higher. I’d suggest to contact the financial aid office.</p>
<p>i’ve been awarded the trustee’s scholarship (half tuition) plus a women in stem scholarship (10,000 per year). let me know if you’d like me to PM you my stats!</p>
<p>My D received the Deans scholarship of $12k and applied RD. it was a nice surprise. </p>
<p>For those who were awarded scholarships this year, how was it communicated? </p>
<p>It appeared on the financial aid tab and listed as the Deans scholarship. We haven’t received the acceptance packet yet but it is probably detailed in there too. </p>
<p>Received the Dean’s Scholarship packet today!!</p>
<p>Anyone who received the Dean’s or similar scholarships care to post basic stats?</p>
<p>I got full tuition after asking them to reconsider my dean’s scholarship. I had to write a merit appeal too.</p>
<p>ACT: 34
12/432 in my class</p>
<p>The founder’s scholarship (full tuition) is awarded “to select students in the top 1% of our applicant pool” according to Lehigh.</p>
<p>I was admitted with the Dean’s Scholarship of $10,000 per year in April 2012 as well. I was regular decision with no financial aid. Applicants are automatically considered for the scholarships so you do not have to apply for the merit scholarships. </p>
