<p>Do students admitted under the Early Decision program learn in December or later in the school year if they were awarded any merit scholarships?</p>
<p>I believe that the decision is mailed out with the admission packet</p>
<p>Has anyone received notification about merit aid?</p>
<p>On Esther, it says that the awards notification will be sent on April 1.</p>
<p>thank you! I hadn’t seen that on ESTHER. Awesome, still hope! lol</p>
<p>lol yup same here!! Got my fingers crossed!!</p>
<p>I believe that merit scholarships offers are sent out the same time for ED as RD. I applied RD and got my merit scholarship offers with Rice’s acceptance when I logged in to view the decision and financial aid offer which became available a few days before April 1st.</p>
<p>Right. My bad.</p>
<p>No you’re right. Formal offers will also be in the admission packet.</p>
<p>What is the merit scholarship amount range? Heard any one got full tuition?</p>
<p>The ranges are listed here</p>

<p>my child was accepted ED last year. We were told the merit award, if any would be in that packet. I waited and hoped as well, but when I called that is what I was told.</p>
