<p>When do you find out about scholorships/financial aid? I checked my application status online and read "Congratulations!" I haven't recieved the packet in the mail yet but was wondering if the financial aid notification / scholorship info is sent with the packet or later on closer to April?</p>
<p>I got my notification along with my acceptance in the mail. In the second paragraph it listed the award that I received.</p>
<p>It seems like a lot of people got the fin aid information with their acceptance letter, but I haven't yet and I got the letter around November.</p>
<p>also remember that you can always ask to be reconsidered for merit aid if you do not receive it initially. just send a cover letter saying you would like to be further evaluated, and be sure to add new things to your application such as extra recommendations, a useful essay, or other things that could bring new light to the situation. i did this last year and ultimately ended up with the founder's award (18K).</p>
<p>My S received his scholarship notification (the DSA) about two weeks after his acceptance.</p>
<p>Also, follow armcp's excellent advice if you don't hear of a scholarship award or the award you want.</p>
