@seeniebeenie thanks so much! I’m super excited and you eased a lot of tension and stress I had.
@collegecolleg I was told that it was just a merit scholarship. On my “To Do List” on Albert it said I needed a proof of citizenship to evaluate federal aid so I sent that. I called in to make sure they got it and they told me I would get federal aid along with the Tandon Scholarship, so I think the Tandon Scholarship is just based on merit. Might be based on aid as well since I did the CSS profile as well.
Second question: nope. I didn’t talk to anyone. When I got my acceptance letter I checked my financial aid award and the Tandon Scholarship was just there.
Assuming I get a little more aid (maybe $5000ish) it’ll still cost me $20000. But I’m super excited and I think it’s a good investment in the long run!
