<p>I got in EA to Nova and northeastern. NEU gave my money with the acceptance but nova said nothing really about merit based scholarships besides the presidential thing (which I didn't get nominated for). Anyway my mother called and asked if I just flat out got 0 merit scholarships or if I would be getting another letter about that and they said another letter would be sent out soon. Any idea when that will be?</p>
<p>Finalists for the presidential are announced January 26th, I think. Maybe that is what they are talking about? I'm pretty sure they don't give out any scholarship money besides the 20 something for presidential. I may be completely wrong, but that is just what I've heard. I also heard that financial aid doesn't come out for a while either. Hopefully that is wrong and they meant that the information on aid comes out soon.</p>
<p>there is a villanova scholarship that you can get if u have above a 1350 and a certain gpa i am hoping for that</p>
<p>My niece was offered $3,000 in merit aid three years ago. They do offer a small amount a merit money, but I think the offers are far and few between. But that hardly makes a dent on a tuition of close to 48,000 yearly. She was accepted EA and the merit offer came in February, I think.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure you find out about merit scholarships when regular decisions come out or when they've reviewed a good amount of regular apps.... except for the presidential scholarship. </p>
<p>those scholarships are pretty small though and probably won't compare to what you received from northeastern.</p>
<p>thanks everyone. Now we wait</p>
