<p>when do we hear if we got merit-based scholarships?</p>
<p>and around what ACT or SAT range are the merit-based scholarships given out on?</p>
<p>According to the website, they're going to start sending financial stuff March 14.</p>
<p>Yeah, it was March 1, but they must have delayed it.. I was hoping for a letter last week, but I'll have to wait another week :(</p>
<p>yeah... waiting on everyone's fafsa I guess?</p>
<p>Shouldn't need FASFA for merit-only... i didn't even file one.. I'm getting merit-only.</p>
<p>They do it all at the same time, merit and need based, so you'll find out everything at once. As I recall it was closer to April when I got my letter, but it's been a while since then, so who knows.</p>
<p>I received my financial award packet today... $10k merit plus Laptop grant... was hoping for a little more, but I think this is actually above average for Rose. Nic, could you comment on that?</p>
<p>my son got 21,000
he still is in the running for the lilly.
and has two ther local scholarships he might not need for 7500 for the first 3 years</p>
<p>^ Jeese! Does that include need-based as well as merit? Loans also or all non-repayable?</p>
<p>No, we won't get any need based ones :(
that was only merit
but he is ranked 1 in his class and SATs were awesome</p>
<p>Wow, really good job, that's so much!</p>
<p>I got mine today - $12,000 merit plus a bunch of loans. I assume that the Catapult scholarship is included in that number... or should it be a separate thing? Anyone know about that?</p>
<p>I ended up with 8k in merit and all the rest in loans with high, high interest rates. May not be enough for me to go, but we'll see.</p>
<p>From what I've heard, it's really easy to get them to increase your award if you just ask... maybe a student can comment on that.</p>
<p>Yup, they gave me an extra 3k/year when I asked for it nicely. Definitely recommend you try.</p>
<p>That's good news Nic! I hope it turns out as well for me.. did you ask yourself or have a parent call?</p>
<p>My parent called. We had some excuses, my step-father had been unemployed for several months and was in the process of starting his own consulting business and I had a good offer to go to Georgia Tech for pretty cheap, not sure how those factored into it.</p>
<p>I got my award packet today...</p>
<p>ACT: 32
GPA: 4.15
Major: Computer Science</p>
<p>Merit Scholarship - $14,500
Plus a lot of other grants and loans. I think it is still too expensive for me to attend. =(</p>
<p>^dgross</p>
<p>if you don't mind me asking, was quite a bit need-based?</p>
<p>I got another $5000 in a need-based grant and a few thousand for Federal Work/Study, ACG, and a Pell Grant.</p>
