I stand corrected, @pilot2012, they only guarantee $4,500 a year for incoming freshmen admitted into Schreyer. (Gateway students, who apply as upperclassmen, are not, to my knowledge, guaranteed annual awards. But please correct me if I’m wrong about that.)

Would have been nice if you’d bothered to cite your sources (or any sources!) while you’re constantly fact-checking me, but here’s a link:



All Scholars who enter in their first year will receive a $4,500 annual scholarship renewable for all four years of your undergraduate education. Schreyer also has additional grants and scholarships available for experiences such as travel abroad, research, etc.

And, no, I haven’t posted on the Pitt forums because I have no direct experience with them since my kid didn’t apply there!

I’m glad your kid is having such a great experience at Penn State and that you can afford to pay for it. Nothing I ever posted in this thread was directed at kids in that category. My concern, again, is for naive students who don’t understand how financial aid works. If you find that patronizing, so be it.

So far in this thread you’ve accused me of intentionally trying to “mislead” people, of perpetuating “clap trap,” “misinformation,” and “distortion.” If you really believe that, then report me to a moderator. Otherwise, give it a rest.
