Les finances, en francais

Les merite scholarshipes - There was incorrect information posted on the financial aid website that said we generally send merit scholarships with decisions. Not true! We send them only with our regular notification decisions, because the scholarship committee meets in March. Scholarship recipients who are admitted regular notification will get their scholarship notification in their admit packet. Scholarship recipients who were admitted early action will just get an envelope with their scholarship notification. So wait for the mail!

Sometimes there is a rumour that accepting your offer of admission early will take you out of the scholarship running. This is not true for us—I had many students last year who accepted their offers in February or March and who still got scholarships. Well, not many, because we don't give out many, but a few. So, accept your offer, get into Snell-Hitchcock, and rest assured that you are still in the scholarship running.

Le financial aide - Your financial aid letters should come late next week. We're sorry it won't be any sooner, but you should get your estimate before you have to click submit for your regular notification applications.
