I think it would be great for those of us who will be going through the process next year. Thanks in advance!
@Mel2421, I’m not sure this is a good idea. Most schools ask that you keep scholarship information confidential. You wouldn’t want an admin person in your favorite school to be able to identify your posts and see that you are sharing. Of course, we all want to know, but I have to believe that each award is individual to the student. In the long run, it’s better not to know.
@Mel2421 you can go to some of the schools’ websites and plug in your stats (GPA/test scores) and figure out what academic merit aid you might receive – Rider, I know, has this feature. You can also play with the GPA/test scores to see if raising them might increase your award. Look for “merit aid calculators” on individual college websites.
Other than any “automatic” academic scholarships that are based on grades/test scores and published on the school’s website, it is really not a good idea to share your other financial aid offers. Many schools specifically ask that those be confidential for obvious reasons.
Ok sorry did not know that. I have read on some posts where people listed how much they got. No worries.
