Yah I just did a similar search. However, I wonder if they just did not be update their info. From my understanding UVA doesn't disperse the majority of it's scholarships till spring.LLB2JD wrote:Did a quick search on LSN. Nobody reported receiving any money.

If you fall into this category and are worried about obtaining scholarship money, have no fear. Applying ED does not affect an applicant’s merit scholarship prospects. In fact, Trujillo states:

Some who apply ED and receive scholarship assistance are quite shocked. For example, I gave $20,000+ scholarships to two ED applicants and they were quite surprised.
Well LSP puts me at "strong consider." However, being a sub3/175+ urm splitter, I do not know how much weight I should put into it. There are so few data points on LSN to compare myself to. However these gave me hope:Kretzy wrote:Much more likely for 168/3.85+ in-state folks who want to lock-down their best option in Virginia than for the random hodgepodge of splitters that seem to be applying to UVA nowadays.
Anyone with a 170/3.75 and over (or the general equivalent) is in the running for scholarships. Some 170/3.9s last year seemed to net about $75,000, with higher LSAT scores getting upwards of $90,000.
General rule: if you need to ED to even have a solid chance at admission, you won't get a scholarship.
