Crazy Question: Is it possible to get a merit/need stipend? Forum

[ArghItsBlarg]

Chicago-Kent offers an honors scholarship program which is a full ride +$10k/year stipend, however the stipend isn't available for part time students (i.e. me). Books and a new laptop are expensive. Does anyone know of a successful appeal to any school, either via merit or need, for a stipend to cover books/fees? Obviously $10k would be lovely, but even something like $500-$1,000 would be incredibly useful.

I'm looking at T2 schools specifically, but any experiences would be nice to hear about.

It sounds like PT students aren't eligible for aid, which is the tradeoff for lowered admissions standards.

PT students are still eligible for the scholarship aspect, just not the additional stipend. It's my (admittedly faint) hope that, given that my stats exceed their regular admissions standards, I might be able to finagle some sort of stipend out of them regardless.
