<p>Hi, I am interested in hearing from anybody who lives outside PA, and was notified they received merit aid?
Thank you.</p>
<p>Only merit aid I got was the $2500/year for getting into schreyer's. They really are pathetic when it comes to giving out financial aid, especially for such a well funded research institution. I really wanted to go there, too.</p>
<p>i posted similar question on penn state forum a few days ago. My son got squat from NY. He did get Honors and money from UMD College Park, Delaware and Binghamton so I was really sorry that PSU did not come through with anything.</p>
<p>I talked to person from admissions at chat session last night. They said only 18% of student body got scholarships. I thought my sons stats would have easily put him in the top 18% but like I said he got squat and PSu already has a high $$ tag for a Public.</p>
<p>I was also sort of disappointed that the only aid we got was the $2500 for Schreyer. It's really not much compared to the total bill and not a big enticement to go there.</p>
