<p>When do we find out if we won a scholarship? do they do like most schools and say "you have been accepted, here is how much we are prepared to offer you."</p>
<p>please DONT just post on here the link to the financial aide website, i have been there and it is still confusing to me</p>
<p>From my experience you don’t find out about scholarship offers until you are accepted.</p>
<p>You won’t find out your financial aid package until around February. If you’re realistic, you know that Penn State is not bountiful with scholarship offers, even for the very best students. If you make it into Schreyer, there is a small scholarship offer that comes with that. Other than that, there isn’t much.</p>
<p>Rocco got it, they don’t offer much merit wise</p>
<p>Need and merit based awards come out sporadically until next spring when you get the official package. There isn’t too much merit aid for freshmen, unless you had a high GPA/SAT score combo in HS. Need base can be generous if you qualify.</p>
