Merit Aid

<p>how generous is Villanova with merit aid? I won't qualify for financial aid, but still won't be able to pay for 45+k a year. </p>

<p>Do you think I would be able to get anything? </p>

<p>General Stats: 33 ACT, 4.22 W GPA, top 5%, 8 APs and honors classes, involved in sports, and ecs in and out of school. </p>

<p>I'm applying early action and Villanova is on the top of my list. I've read about the scholarships... full tuition, half tuition/partial tuition programs. </p>

<p>Has anyone here received these scholarships and do you think I might be able to qualify? </p>

<p>Any comments would be great.</p>

<p>My son had great SAT scores, a high GPA and lots of APs and he was offered 2K in merit aid. My understanding is that only a select few get the full scholarships and much of the other merit aid is 1-3K.</p>

<p>so they usually only offer 1-3k per year?</p>

<p>Bummer that is barely anything compared to the whole cost...</p>

<p>BTW your stats are amazing and you are probably in; I don't know about the whole scholarship situation at Nova though. I am also interested and want to know more about the merit aid here, I have heard from others that Nova is generally a school that gives away a lot of money.</p>

<p>thanks for the post tortoni. that's kind of discouraging. is that 2k over 4 years? or 2k total? </p>

<p>DFS: scholarship info
Scholarships</a> and Grants </p>

<p>If you're not ROTC, URM, or commuter then the two scholarships are the Presidential Scholarship and the Villanova Scholarship. </p>

<p>PS: 700+ on both CR and M or 32 ACT, 3.85.. full tuition (seems like a luck of the draw) </p>

<p>VS: 650 both sections, 3.8 GPA, top 5%?! (where did that come from?).. $$ varies</p>

<p>My niece was offer $3000 merit aid...she was valedictorian of her class...8-9APs and a 2170 on her SAT. She applied EA. Good luck with your search.....your stats look awesome as well!!! By the way...she's at Georgetown!</p>

<p>i'm guessing that's 3k every year? and it looks like 3k-4k is tops for the Villanova Scholarship.</p>

<p>It was per year for the merit aid...and my s got his V bill last week and the cost is a little closer to $47,000.</p>

<p>^ wow that is expensive!</p>

<p>Just wondering...I was admitted into the honors program. Does this offer an merit aid? I would think to be one out of 100 students in the honors program, my stats are up there!</p>

<p>hmm i don't know. i think if you received any merit aid you would know by now.</p>

<p>I agree...I think my n's offer came by mail. She applied EA and knew about the merit aid before regular decisions came out.</p>
