Hey!
I was accepted to Rutgers,but can’t find any information on scholarships or financial aid. When will this information be released, and how do I access it?
Thank you!
Scholarship info comes out in January or February http://admissions.rutgers.edu/Costs/Scholarships.aspx. Financial aid is discussed here: http://admissions.rutgers.edu/Costs/FinancialAid.aspx
When I called this past week, the person at campus info services said that they are going to be released on the 18th. But im not sure if its for early action applicants only or both early action and regular decision
@ro2400 Oh boy. I hope RD scholarship notifications will also come on the 18th. Maybe they will because Rutgers only considers those who submitted their application by the 1st of December for scholarships.
As a general comment I find it annoying that colleges stagger the information this way. Just like they need a complete application package before they decide, we too need to see a complete package before we can decide. What good is an acceptance without any info on the cost?
@MassDaD68 To be fair, you’re not being forced to commit right now. You have until May.
However, I do agree. They should send us scholarship and other important financial information with the acceptance. It makes it so much easier for a lot of students.
Btw, I emailed them a while ago, and they replied:
“We expect to begin sending out decisions regarding honors, merit scholarships and need-based financial aid, for those who filed a FAFSA by December 1, starting about mid-January.”
So I guess this agrees with @ro2400
@samc24 That’s correct. Posts by staff on Go Rutgers relay the same information.
@samc24 I received a scholarship from Rutgers Camden and info about admission in the honors college today. I got an acceptance from New Brunswick but am still waiting for scholarship and financial aid info from them.
I’m feeling a 5 or 6 o clock release
Has anyone heard anything yet today?
Nope
Just so you guys know I just saw in another thread @ADNJ21 said the portal normally updates after 9:30pm. Cross your fingers…
If I have to wait two more days - I’m going to die.

same
I guess it’s not happening tonight
Guess not. I’m planning on calling tomorrow afternoon to ask again if it isn’t up by then.
do you guys think it will be by friday (for new brunswick) ?
I just saw on Go Rutgers Jennifer Hollis on staff said yesterday “We are aiming for sometime in about the next week. Hang in there, we are working as fast as we can” and “Honors is expected to be released first and scholarship notification will be included with financial aid information”.
Honestly we could end up holding our breath for the next 12 days. Stay strong guys
I just logged into the financial aid site this morning to check and my scholarships were up!
