<p>As an incoming freshman in the 2013-2014 school year, I was awarded no merit or scholarship money to attend Tulane. If I work my butt off next year, would I be able to possibly acquire some merit money for the next year after? Does it work like that?</p>
<p>I would appreciate input on the matter ASAP. It means a lot to my college decisions :)</p>
<p>Thank you!!!!1</p>
<p>Sorry, but merit scholarships such as the ones being discussed here are only awarded to incoming freshmen. There may be a few other scholarships that are awarded later, I’ll do some checking and get back to that. I seem to remember seeing some listed. But for the most part, I think what you come in with is pretty much it. I would definitely not pick Tulane if getting a merit scholarship is a required part of the equation. Makes me sad to say it, but obviously you want the facts.</p>
<p>Well, I was only able to find a few, and some require being in the Honors Program or at least having their support would help, and you could become part of the HP by making at least a 3.6 your freshman year. [Tulane</a> University Honors Program / Scholarships and Fellowships<a href=“look%20towards%20the%20bottom”>/url</a>. These are fairly specific and might not be applicable to your academic goals.</p>
<p>There are also a couple of service based awards available. [url=<a href=“http://tulane.edu/financialaid/grants/cps.cfm]Tulane”>http://tulane.edu/financialaid/grants/cps.cfm]Tulane</a> University - Center for Public Service Scholarships](<a href=“http://honors.tulane.edu/web/default.asp?id=Scholarships]Tulane”>http://honors.tulane.edu/web/default.asp?id=Scholarships) The first obviously doesn’t make much of a dent, the second is more generous.</p>
<p>Here is a list of national scholarships, but again only a handful are for students already in college and these are highly targeted in most cases.

<p>There may be others available, I seem to remember seeing a list for current Tulane students that excel in certain areas. Or maybe those were just recognition awards, not monetary ones. I cannot find it now. I guess financial aid would be the place to ask if there are any other possibilities.</p>
