<p>I got my acceptance packet and email saying the scholarship I was awarded, but have not received information on how much tuition will be minus the scholarship and financial aid (if any). Does anyone know if we will be mailed one or if we have to check online?</p>
<p>That’s what I’m wondering! I got my packet and they say an email or letter is coming by April fifth, but I hope it comes sooner. It’s killing me to wait. What scholarship did you get and when was it awarded?</p>
<p>I got a packet today. if the email said nothing about a scholarship did I not qualify for any? I don’t want to sound like I think Im super smart but I thought I could get something:</p>
<p>2110 SAT
Top 5% of High School out of a grad of 500 students
4.56 W GPA
Yearbook Co-Editor
Volleyball Captain for 3 years (not going for the sport)</p>
<p>I’m not that religious so maybe that’s why?</p>
<p>I really want to go to Pepperdine but I’m from the East coast so with all of the flights and tuition and room and board it might be too expensive!! Also, I didn’t send the FAFSA because I don’t qualify by a slim margin</p>
<p>@Platasustantivo I got the Seaver Scholarship and was notified by email on March 25th.</p>
<p>@gwenyclip You sound like you could qualify. I am not sure if they are done awarding scholarships or not.</p>
<p>would it be pushy of me to email the Office of Financial Aid?</p>
<p>Hey Gweney clip. If I were you I would call the admissions office (since they determine merit aid, not the financial aid offices) as soon as possible. I suspect they are done handing out aid, and showing interest in the school is a good thing. When you ain’t got nothin’, you got nothin’ to lose.</p>
<p>^ best advice ever haha. And I think I am going to pay a visit to my guidance counselor tomorrow or Wednesday (most likely tomorrow) and ask her what the best thing to do is. Worse comes to worse, I am calling and straight up asking haha thanks!!</p>
<p>I received my scholarship packet in the mail today. I also just received an email that my financial aid awards are available online.</p>
<p>@TransVersed if you don’t mind me asking, how much is the Seaver Scholarship per year?</p>
<p>@stl711 It covers 75% of tuition. I believe it is the highest merit scholarship that the university awards. I am very grateful and blessed because it is the only way I would have been able to attend Pepperdine.</p>
<p>@TransVersed thank you! And congratulations. I was awarded the Regents’ Scholarship so I was wondering how they compared.</p>
<p>Congrats! I hear that is a pretty big scholarship too. I think both Seaver and Regents Scholarship winners are housed together. How much does the Regent Scholarship cover?</p>
<p>Thanks. Regents is $28,000 per year. I was hoping I’d get a little more aid but it is what it is at this point. According to the Regents’ Scholars web page, Regents & Seaver students are housed together and they take the Great Books Colloquium together. Hopefully I can figure out how to pay for Pepperdine since my parents can’t realistically borrow as much as my financial aid award says.</p>
<p>I hope everything works out for you.</p>
<p>Thanks! Have you decided that you will be attending Pepperdine?</p>
<p>I also got accepted into Cornell, Vanderbilt, Boston College, Notre Dame and some other schools, but none of them offer merit scholarships and I didn’t get financial aid from them. I won’t be able to afford those schools unfortunately. Pepperdine is actually more affordable than some public schools (now that I got my scholarship) I got scholarships from and it was one of my top choices anyway before the Seaver Scholarship. So as of right now, Pepperdine is my top choice.</p>
<p>Well it certainly sounds like you have plenty of great choices! Best of luck to you</p>
<p>Thank you, you too.</p>
<p>Cornell is very generous with need based aid. If you don’t get need based aid from CU, you are not going to get it from any institution. I am a cornellian, and my husband has his PhD from CU. Cornell meets 100% of need. But, if your family makes more than 150k/yr, no university will consider you to have any great need. All this to say, if you don’t get need aid from CU, you won’t see any from Pepperdine. And the ivies don’t give our merit aid…if you got in you must have merit!</p>
