<p>does Clemson send letter/email advising of scholarship awards prior to financial aid package being posted?</p>
<p>My son is just an incoming freshman but, he did receive scholarship award info in the body of his acceptance letter. We would love it if additional awards showed up when Clemson posts his details online. I haven’t heard if they add to the initial award or not.</p>
<p>Thanks. My daughter received a recruiting scholarship in November but we are also hoping for more </p>
<p>The bulk of the scholarship money will come with your acceptance letter - have seen people receive smaller amounts later on but don’t expect a whole lot.</p>
<p>Just FYI, DS2’s award package posted online today. The total was exactly the same as expected from his acceptance letter. The package was awarded under two different scholarship names and they both have the same GPA requirements etc. He has been breaking in his new Clemson sweatshirt. :)</p>
<p>That is great. My D award was more then originally offered in her acceptance letter but was still hoping for a little more based on other offers and scholarship BUT Clemson is her first choice and being out of state I am grateful for the award package she received. GO TIGERS!!!</p>
<p>Your posts caused me to check my S’s financial aid award. He too received the original scholarship amount quoted in his acceptance letter but broken into two scholarships. But he received an additional award totally $2500 per year so he did receive more than they offered in the acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, my son did not get any scholarships and we are OOS. He just missed cut off with a 27ACT for any recruiting scholarship although his GPA is 3.8. Does anyone know if Clemson ever considers requests for scholarships? Probably my son’s first or second choice but with no scholarships at all we may need to go elsewhere. All other schools have given him something except Clemson.</p>
<p>there is an appeal process for financial aid on the website - you can check that out</p>
