If he’s in-state, then that’s better than average. Average merit aid (and it’s rare) is $2,000 per year.
We are out of state. I was wondering how high they go out of state or is this the highest?
Seems TCNJ May be making strides in awarding Merit Awards to in state kids, at least for those in the 2026 cohort.
Offhand, know of $8k+ awards being offered…which are more than double what they were 4 short years ago.
my son got $3000 out of state merit. Usually out of state is higher merit
My son got $8000 for fall 2018 in state, but I didn’t compare numbers with anyone and I don’t think any of his friends applied there. That was for engineering.
My D is a 21. $8k was the max in state last year. I think it’s on their website what the OOS award is - it was last year. I think that was $8k too but not sure.
