My son is applying to CMU. He already has multiple acceptances already (EA applications), including one that has given a grant. Does CMU give any scholarships or grants that are not need-based? I have heard that they only have need based financial aid. Thanks.
See my other thread on this matter: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/carnegie-mellon-university/2115217-cmu-discontinuing-presidential-carnegie-scholarships.html
CMU has discontinued merit aid from this point forward for new students. Please keep in mind that even when they had merit aid, it was extremely difficult to obtain, and rather unpredictable as to who would receive it.
