Is it true that PSU/Jefferson does not give any merit aid?

I received approximately half tuition every semester after my first summer at PSU as an out of state student. I believe the aid I was given was based primarily on my grades I earned in undergrad (my GPA was 3.96 at the end of my 2 years).

In regards to the half tuition scholarship at Jefferson, it is awarded to only one student per program year. My year had approximately 20 students. The criteria is based mostly on grades, activities/merit things, and especially financial need.
The honors college scholarship was, as far as I know, never available to us BS/MD students in the past anyhow. And based on all those numbers you provided your kid stands a very good chance of getting into this program
