My D also got an increase. What is the minimum for honors invite?
@mom2cats 3.9 unweighted for Honors.
Congratulations! Do you mind me asking what the original merit was before the increase? I am wondering if my son’s merit will also be increased.
My daughter checked last night and also got an increase. Originally, she got nothing, then they gave her $3500, last night it changed to $8,000. Very strange not sending out notifications.
That’s awesome! Congratulations to her. I am sure that was a nice surprise!!
@NJWrestlingmom Congrats! That’s a great award ! My son received 5700 as an engineering major. His friend with much lower stats received almost the same, not engineering. Not sure how Rowan is determining awards this year. A little frustrating.
@NJparent26 - Thank you for the heads-up! My kid was excited to see an increase in award amount, too! Surprising that they haven’t sent more formal notice of this.
Very strange year, all around! It’s definitely making her decision harder! She really wants to go OOS, but $8,000 is making that harder!
Montclair and Stockton both did something similar, first he got nothing, then 5K then an additional 3K grant.
Fyi, Honors notifications are coming out. My son just found out he was accepted into the program.
So where did everyone end up committing?
D is breaking the family Rowan tradition. She committed to JMU with honors college. Good luck everyone!
Rowan was in our final 3 (Cornell, Rowan, Georgia Tech), but he ultimately chose GT. Hard to turn down such a great program at at a great price, and so close to home… good luck to everyone!
