General Comments: $21k Medal Scholarship</p>

<p>Accepted…Have not heard anything about merit scholarship. Does that mean none was awarded? </p>

<p>I’m accepted too and still have no word on my merit either. I’m a medalist so I know I should be receiving some. Called financial aid today and they said they are looking to have all the merit scholarships posted by early next week.</p>

<p>My D received an email for the Leadership award of $25k today. So I guess more are in the pipeline…</p>
