<p>I looked on the Rose-Hulman's website and it appears that the most money offered in terms of merit aid is about $3000 (/ year?), which is very little compared to the $50,000 cost / year.</p>
<p>Is this correct? And if so, how does one "afford" Rose-Hulman, eg, not pay $47,000 / year? From what I understand, unless one gets extremely lucky, external scholarships will not cover that much.</p>
<p>(This is assuming that one does not receive financial aid).</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m not sure where you got your information. Our daughter got about 18K in merit aid from R-H.</p>
<p>Hi foreached,</p>
<p>Could you please provide the link where you found that information on our website? That is grossly incorrect and needs to be fixed ASAP.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>Argh, this is going to bug me. I searched on the website for awhile and could not find where it said the maximum merit-aid offered was $3,000, given in three increments (so, you could get nothing, $1,000, $2,000, or $3,000). I was even talking to my college counselor about Rose-Hulman and she pulled up one of the merit-aid pages and confirmed the $3,000 maximum.</p>
<p>Sorry about this, I can’t believe I’m unable to find the original site. If I ever do, I’ll make sure to post it.</p>
<p>Thanks, makes me feel much better.</p>
<p>Could it possibly be a mis-reading of this page about graduate assistantships?</p>

<p>I don’t believe so. The page you linked referenced a $3,000 award on a monthly basis; I recall it being yearly and offered in increments of $1,000 dollars.</p>
<p>It’s always possible I misread, though. I know the Rose-Hulman website recently got redesigned, so I probably read some old information that (potentially) got taken down.</p>
