Georgetown Merit Scholarships

Post by CRC024 » Wed Mar 09, 2016 10:09 pm

Does anybody know if Georgetown automatically considers you for a merit-based scholarship? I am getting ready to begin negotiating my scholarships. University of Michigan offered my $30k per year and I just sent in my merit-based scholarship application to Cornell (which I didn't know I had to do until I asked about merit-based aid).

I don't want to embarrass myself by asking Georgetown and they tell me that I have to fill out a form, but I can't find a form anywhere on their website so does anybody else have an insight into this?

They send an email out to people eligible for merit scholarships asking how much they want. If you didn't get one, I don't know if that means you're not going to be considered at all or you just don't get to name your price. I think it would be weird if you got 90k from Mich and GTown isn't even going to consider you. Did you check your spam folder or are you a very recent admit?

I don't believe they've sent any scholarships out yet

Do you think I should email them and ask then? I'd prefer not to miss a deadline if there is a form or something for the merit-scholarships

I got the GULC 'name your price' email and haven't heard yet about numbers.

Sent my application in January and called the other day and they just said they were working on it but no word yet. Hard to say
