<p>I don’t know if it was something we did wrong, but my D did apply for Temple, and while she was admitted, I don’t think she was offered any merit money. She was a National Merit Finalist and had close to a 4.0 GPA. I just thought I’d put that out there–I guess don’t rely on the school to give the aid automatically. If this happens to you (in any school), make sure to contact the office and ask about the merit aid.</p>
