Although academically less selective hartt does not stack scholarships. You receive all financial aid from the hartt school and it is exclusive of any aid offered by the university to the general population. As an example, the university may offer a diversity scholarship for minorities. However, if hartt does not have a corresponding one, you will not receive the university diversity scholarship, regardless of your minority status. Another example is academic merit. There are large scholarships offered by the university for academic merit. However those are not given to hartt students, they only receive talent scholarships. There are named grants and scholarships that hartt offers, but to my understanding those are offered on a yearly basis. So don’t count on getting the presidential scholarship for $14k because of your gpa in addition to your $15k talent scholarship. And you can’t elect to receive the $14k presidential scholarship in lieu of the $5k talent scholarship they offered…just the way they work.
