<p>anybody know when the academic scholarships start coming out?</p>
<p>bumppp. any idea? the wait is excrutiating.</p>
<p>My son was last year, but if I recall correctly his acceptance said scholarship would follow and I think it was about 2 weeks until we received it.</p>
<p>Might not come until late January this year according to UPitt.</p>
<p>Late January?! My D was really hoping to hear something soon. Bummer!</p>
<p>I got my scholarship letter today - i got a full tuition scholarship!!!</p>
<p>Congrats hgblue!! Are you going to go to Pitt?</p>
<p>Congrats to you, hgblue!</p>
<p>Unfortunately for me, I was not aware of the scholarship a few weeks ago when I applied to another university under their binding early decision agreement. But if I do not get admitted early decision, pitt is absolutely, positively at the top of my list!</p>
<p>My daughter also received a letter today notifying her that she has received an OOS full-tuition scholarship! I am SO relieved (and so is my wallet)! 
Good luck to all!</p>
<p>For those of you that received full tuition, can you please tell us your stats…SAT, GPA, rank and such?</p>
<p>congrats. i recieved my decision today and i only got 12K a year. im OOS btw. </p>
<p>34 ACT, top 10%, blah blah blah. </p>
<p>im kinda ticked i only got 12k, was really hoping for the full tuition. congrats to those who got it!!</p>
<p>any way i can appeal my decision? id love to go to pitt, but wont if it costs double what my state school does. If i could get another 4 or 5k then my parents would consider sending me.</p>
<p>My d received the full tuition award as well. Pitt is looking very appealing.</p>
<p>Vikings3214 – are you an engineering major? If so, engineering dept. has their own scholarships and it stacks on top of the the scholarship from Pitt.</p>
<p>Congrats to all on your scholarship awards.</p>
<p>DS has never regretted his decision to attend Pitt and there is nothing like graduating debt-free from college :)</p>
<p>MTnest: Do you happen to know when the engineering scholarships come in the mail?</p>
<p>This was a few years ago but it all came within a few days of each other – full tuition and then engineering scholarship. Full tuition is great since it covers all tuition increases and the engineering scholarship pays for part of the room & board.</p>
<p>argh it sucks i didnt get full tuition. anybody know anything about appealing???</p>
<p>Vikings were you invited to apply for the chancellor’s scholarship?</p>
<p>

<p>The other school may be at the top of your list, but not being and early decision school itself, Pitt would very likely honor your admission/scholarship if you turned down a binding agreement elsewhere, if that was of interest to you. If you’d prefer Pitt, you should contact their admissions with that question to make sure, but I doubt there is anything preventing you from going to Pitt if that would be your preference over the ED school.</p>
