I just noticed that he did receive an email that his acceptance letter would be available to view soon on the portal. That was yesterday but it’s not up yet.
@julietan0813 Thank you for your help! Just received an email today that says essentially he was deferred, but is welcome to submit any additional academic information to help them make their decision. Good news is that his GPA will go up a bit after 1st semester, so here’s hoping! Congrats to everyone that has been accepted and earned scholarships, your hard work is impressive!
Just received a letter notifying him that he is accepted into the honors program so that’s good news.
How do i find out my scholarship. I got a bunch of stuff about the honors college but I got no scholarship information. Maybe it’s cuz i didn’t send them my FAFSA, but I don’t know how to send it to a second batch of schools.

@17moonshine above link explains how to add more schools to FAFSA.
Are you instate for PA?
You will want to list a PA school first on the FAFSA. And fill out the state grant application.
@mommdc Actually, I just checked and I did submit my FAFSA. I’m out of state. I guess I’ll call them and find out what’s going on.
Financial aid probably hasn’t been processed yet. Merit probably is not dependent on filing FAFSA unless the school requires it.
Did anyone that went the route of temple optional receive decision notification??
We went this route as gpa weighted is 4.7 but she has very average standardized test scores
We applied before Oct 31 buy essays were completed by Nov 5.
Congrats to all with decisions and good luck to all still in pending status 
Found out she got $8000 in merit but definitely no honors
If i only submitted SAT (so no act) is there still a chance of scholarships or do you need to meet requirements for both?
Hello. I applied at Temple for Spring and I got Accepted a while ago; however, I haven’t received anything regarding scholarships although My SAT Score is 1450 (CR+Math) 2200 Total. Is it right that they are not offering merit scholarships for Spring?
3irishgirls - Congratulations! Are you sure no honors college though, we just received the letter yesterday?
For anyone wondering, I received my admission and a few weeks later I got an email saying that my letter was available to view online. This will be the first tab under next steps when your letter is available. In the letter, it will state merit aid as well as honors college acceptance. This is independent of the FAFSA and Financial Aid which will most likely come out in February. If you have questions I would email an admissions counselor directly (from the link below) (It doesn’t have to be the one corresponding to your location, I would just email all of them). They were able to tell me my merit aid a few days before it was on the portal.
Emails of the admissions counselors:

Seems that way which is so disappointing. Sigh. Not surf if contacting them would help.
You might want to check about merit scholarship eligibility for Spring start. A lot of schools only offer them to freshmen starting in Fall.
Also you can ask if they will accept updated test scores.
For everyone who has seen the acceptance letter on the portal, did you RSVP for the Experience Temple Day or paid any deposits before you seen the letter?
@Lynng0710 my D had signed up for experience Temple Day a couple of weeks ago but no payment given yet. She was accepted first week in Nov and letter was available on Fri
Hello, for my TUPortal, if my “next steps” box states that “All required documents have been received by our office and your application is complete and awaiting a decision!” but it is unchecked, am I good right? The check will come with a decision on my acceptance? Just wanted to make sure, because I submitted my temple application pretty early on Nov. 1. thanks
Yeah it just sits there unchecked @shiftydraw
I finally called admissions this morning for some info and was told that the letters are just starting to be uploaded this morning so check back every day for yours. Obviously some here have already gotten theirs but maybe soon for the rest of us.
