<p>Well, according to this blog at the RIT web site, merit scholarships will be mailed out this week:</p>
<p>RIT</a> Brick City Ambassadors - Academy Awards mean Academic Awards at RIT</p>
<p>From an RIT Blog entry, by Corinne of the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office:</p>
<p>"But, wanted to say that we are sending a ton of merit award letters out this week. We are reviewing applications major by major. So, your application is being evaluated along with all other applicants in your major. This is why a friend applying to RIT may receive a different award at a different time."</p>

<p>Glad to hear they haven't been mailed yet. We were worried we wouldn't get a penny which would place it pretty much out of reach...</p>
