<p>How generous is WPI in giving out merit aid?</p>
<p>Especially for decent stats white girl :)</p>
<p>I think they're pretty generous. I got close to 20k/year which was more than I expected. If you do have decent stats, I'm sure you will get a good amount of aid.</p>
<p>D got 16k, seems to be around the average for decent stats. WPI, however, is pretty expensive, as you know.</p>
<p>I'm white girl! I got close to 20,000 as well. I dunno what kind of stats you have, but I think they were generous, considering that I didn't even send them my best test scores.</p>
<p>My daughter last year got a full ride to WPI so they do give it out - however she went to Harvard instead.</p>
<p>how does the merit aid look for a decent stat int'l student?</p>
<p>DocT, did your D receive merit+need-based aid?
I didn't think WPI gave full rides. On their website, merit scholarships are listed and 25K seem to be the most they give. Costs are ~45K/year.</p>
<p>I got $10,400 merit per year. It might not be enough for me to go though. Maybe I'll get some of the needy based money too but I doubt it.</p>
<p>WPI has an extensive merit based scholarship program...About 20% of our undergrads get some sort of Merit based assisitance and the average award is in the range of 18000....a decent stats white girl shouldn't be an exception :)</p>
<p>Hi. Does WPI give multiple merit scholarships? like biochemistry + international students scholarship? I already got the 18k biochem scholarship, but it's far from enough for me to attend the school. thanks for the response.</p>
<p>WPI should lure in girls!</p>
<p>I was offered $61,400 for fours years at WPI ( i.e. approx $15,000/yr )</p>
<p>I'm an international student. I got $12500 a year plus an international scholarship of $2500 a year for a total of $15000 annually.</p>
<p>I m an international too. i got 26,500 a year, but no intl scholarship! Still, quite happy with the result.</p>
<p>I got $22,000 ( 18,000 presidential and 4000 international)</p>
<p>Did everyone get their merit offer in the acceptance letter, or was it sent separately?</p>
<p>mine was with the acceptance letter although it was dated later.</p>
<p>My son's admit letter is dated Dec 13, his merit letter is dated Dec 18. I can't remember if they came together or separately...</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I didn't receive my merit aid information until my entire financial aid package arrived.</p>
<p>My daughter received a $14K per year merit scholarship, but we haven't received our full financial aid packet yet. I talked to FA last week, and they said that my CSS Profile, which I submitted on January 28, didn't get to them until March 15!!! On the plus side, the FA person I spoke to said there will be some need based aid in the financial aid packet. I hope it's enough to put WPI in range with all the other schools.</p>
