<p>Do Merit Awards or acceptance to Honors come with initial acceptance or at a later date?</p>
<p>My daughter received her merit award letter a few weeks after her acceptance. It came in a large ( 9x12) envelope from the honors college along with information about the honors college. She applied RD, not EA as you obviously have done, so I don't know if it works differently for EA candidates.</p>
<p>I think it's like a week or two later. Look through the old blog posts...</p>
<p>The webpage says that honor college/merit aid notifications are posted a few weeks after acceptance letters.
From what I read on the blog there, they are posted next week.</p>
<p>thanks for the info.</p>
<p>Got my acceptance last week, Honors and scholarship today.</p>
<p>The admissions blog says that Liberal Arts Honors Program invitations were mailed on December 23. I assume it is not good news if it has not arrived yet. :( </p>
<p>Anyone besides Mooseman gotten honors and scholarship letter?</p>
<p>i got my acceptance into the honors program + 3/4 tuition last monday (not yesterday, last week).</p>
<p>on a side note, does anybody know if this tuition will affect my chances of the mlk scholarship? does this now mean that i won't be eligible?</p>
<p>Nets-Balla....would you mind posting your stats? I'd be interested to see since you got the 3/4 tuition scholarship. My daughter will be looking into applying to PC for next year...she's a junior now. Thanks!</p>
