Has anyone received any notification of acceptance to the Scholars Program or any notification of merit aid? If so, did it come with your regular admissions package? Thx 
I received my envelope w stickers, letter but nothing for merit. My ACT is 34, w 95 average
Last year merit info came in the mailed acceptance letter. Scholars invite came in the beginning of January.
@dophie, are you in-state or out-of-state? From what I have been scouring out of this forum (last year and this), the reports of having received scholarship is coming from OOS applicants.
@1S1Dforcollege , I can’t DM you yet (I think I need 15 posts before I can DM). We had a chance to interact in the Class of 2023 thread. My son has similar background and Bing results (dont know about scholars and FRI yet) as your daughter did last year. I just wanted to know how Bing compared to your D’s in-state PA results, and why she chose Bing over in-state PA (Pitt, Penn State, Temple). Thanks a ton with so many clarifications you are providing to so many people! (you can try to DM me if you wish, but not sure I can see it)
@notstuy , are you in-state or OOS? I am yet to see any reporting of scholarship from in-state applicants from last year and this year, but that is just from reading the Class Of threads, so obviously not scientific. In-state NYS tuition is the most reasonable, and in-state are eligible for Excelsior.
@PaCollegeDad in-state.
@PaCollegeDad I am in NYC, do they not offer merit to in state kids? Thx!
@notstuy , I have no idea. We are OOS from PA. I was scouring a few threads a few days back, and everyone that I saw who reported a merit scholarship were from out of state. On a separate note, the instate tuition in NY (tuition + fees < $10,000 I think) is among the lowest you can find. Also, there is the Excelsior scholarship for in-state families, which brings down tuition to the $2000 or so range.
@notstuy and @dophie : Info about the Excelsior Scholarship
