[marsters]

Do you think there will be more e-mails later today?

[RCO2012]

25k wooo!!!!

edit:per year

Congrats. Are others receiving now? I don't see anything yet.

[neprep]

25k wooo!!!!

Wait…the stated amount on the SIS website is just for FY2015, right? So did you guys get a total of 25K x 3?

[andonefinemorning]

Just a tip: check your spam folder - my email was in spam even though I got the previous SIS email without a problem.

Well, I guess it did only say 25k for the next year, but I assume that would be renewable. Although I guess that's presumptuous but I've never heard of a school only give aid for one year and not the rest.

My SIS info changed to: "Award access not available.". I think (hope) other awards are going out today. I suspect that notifications are going out in batches based on amount.

+1 mine was also in spam wtf gmail

$20k/yr. status just shows the 2014/15 academic year. Still, the assumption is at least the same aid each year.

Yeah, I would think that barring some special circumstances, you could safely multiply that by three. Just saying, it might be more useful to report 75K (on TLS polls, LSN, etc) to make it comparable to the way other schools report it.

This is what mine says too. But I don't remember what it said before. Is this a change from the normal status, or is this what it always said?

Mine too. Thanks for pointing this out!

30k!! Wow!!

[SplitMyPants]

Kind of bummed. UVA came through with less than NYU did.

[jasper09]

Congrats y'all!

$35k (ideally per year) here. Pretty pleased, what with the bit of a discount for in-state tuition, too.

Are these awards strictly merit? Does need based aid come later or should we assume we aren't getting any need based aid if it isn't mentioned in our award?

I checked yesterday and mine did not have the "award access not available" status showing. So that changed today.

People that re just reporting, did you just get the email?

That is very odd. I wonder if its good or bad...

[marsters]

so what if we didn't get an email?

[RCO2012]

Check SIS. I didn't get an email either, but when I logged in it was there.

[alinor]

Does anyone know what the appeal process is? I didn't see info on the website.

[awoodard]

Got no scholly...yikes, pretty disappointed since UVA is my top choice, but not super surprised since i'm a super splitter (GPA is >25th, LSAT <75TH).

Can anyone point me toward a thread about requesting merit aid/other scholarships, or have any advice? Feel free to PM.

Any advice is appreciated, TYIA

[neprep]

RCO can we get a poll on scholarship awards?

The options could be {0, 20K, 25K, 30K, 35K,…what do these non-Dillards go up to?}.
