<p>Pitt is very enticing- D received some merit $ (altho with my tuition benefits, we couldn't use, I think), and automatic admission to the masters program in Intl Affairs (assuming GPA at least 3.5). Nice to be wanted!</p>

<p>got my full tuition in the mail and chance for chancellors</p>

<p>does the scholarship info come with the original acceptance package or do they send it later?</p>

<p>For the people getting the full tuition scholarships: What are these scholarships called: Honors Challenge, Chancellor's Nominee, Honors Tuition, or something else?</p>

<p>Ack! When I posted my last reply (right above or on previous page) it didn't make the font/format/whatever the way it was supposed to be. Anyone know what's happening?</p>

<p>You cannot make a space between the brackets and the interior contents of the brackets.</p>

<p>momhippo,
My D got a full tuition scholarship last year and it comes up as UHC tuition scholarship on her bill.
It's not an Honors Challenge since she's not in the school of arts and sciences. It could be an Honors Tuition scholarship, but if you look under chancellor's scholarship it says that some who don't make chancellor's will get full tuition. See the list of scholarships on Pitt's sight.
I just go by what is says on the bill.</p>

<p>on my ceritficate, it says university scholar</p>

<p>i'm really sorry if this is a stupid question - but where does it say if you're admitted into the honors college or not? i got a letter of acceptance (yay!) but don't know where to find that bit of info.</p>

<p>if it doesn't say, does that mean i'm not in? thanks.</p>

<p>annakae23: It said I was eligible to participate in the UHC in my original acceptance letter.</p>
