Hey they told me on the phone that financial award letters will be around late January!
@inkhat most schools don’t post EA/ED financial aid until January so they can compare it with RD. Only merit aid should be available right now. Don’t stress and congrats to your son!
I got into the honors program as a journalism major! very excited!!
I got in to Poli Comm with a 20k scholarship :’) Super happy!
Got in Comedic Arts!
I got into Writing and Publishing with the Visionary Scholarship!!
Also in for Writing, Lit, and Publishing!
got in for policom with the visionary scholarship!!! im definitely committing and i hope i see some of you in the fall #emerson2024 <3
I was fortunate enough to get into Comedic Arts as well as to have received the $20k Aspire Scholarship! I’m really happy with this, but I’m also really worried that the school will still lie outside of my target affordability. I don’t expect to receive much (if any) need-based aid, so is there anything I can do to garner more merit aid/money in general? Aside from out-of-school scholarships and trying to get into the honors program next year, of course.
@ToHereKnowsWhen1 Emerson is one of the worst colleges for need-based and merit aid. Only a couple of kids a year get the largest non-honors scholarship ($20,000 congrats!) compared to other similar colleges where the largest is around $40,000. Emerson also only met 8% of students had full need met. If you still can’t afford Emerson, you’re going to have to find outside scholarships, as all merit aid for colleges will most likely be given at admission.
Just got in for Journalism with 2 scholarships! So excited!
For everyone asking whether or not Emerson will give more merit aid, I emailed them and they said that come mid-January, we can appeal for more merit aid. I’m assuming (like someone else mentioned before) that they are just waiting for RD applicants to submit their applications. So we shouldn’t worry just yet. Congrats to all!
Does anyone know if they send out decisions in the mail? I couldn’t find any info from last year’s class or the website.
@izrk02 My DD received an admission packet by mail a few days after the portal was updated.
Hey guys, my portal just updated with my financial aid info. Make sure to check if you got yours!
