Thanks so much for the update!
Meaning that interviews already took place or interview invitations will be going out? Thanks!
Interview Invitations will be going out by the end of this week. Hope that helps!
Any idea if recipients of TE are still considered for Chancellorâs? My S24 was approved for full tuition through TE but we really canât justify the room, board and fees when he has other schools offering full rides.
They mention this on the website, not sure if it applies to your situation. Also the student must have gotten into Honors already as that is a requirement for Chancellors:
You must be admitted to the University of Pittsburgh in order to be reviewed for Tuition Exchange. Please note that the Tuition Exchange Scholarship will replace any merit scholarship the University of Pittsburgh previously awarded you.
For everyone like us who checked your document center on March 1 and didnât see any merit award, check again! We thought 3/1 was the last date for merit so we didnât check again after that until today and lo and behold there is a merit letter dated 3/5! We are in state and itâs not a huge amount, be we are very happy to have gotten anything.
Wow, thanksâus too! I had totally written that possibility off (weâre also in-state).
Congrats! Thanks for the heads up!
S24 just got merit dated 3/13! Letter was in his doc center so guess you need to keep checking. He applied on 8/15 and was accepted on 8/30 so we had given up all hope.

Have you accepted the admission.Would accepting the admission reduce or increase the chance of getting a merit aid?
Could it be related to honors college?
That would be interesting to know. Historically (and unlike Penn State), there has been no merit associated with an honors college acceptance. It would be useful if those accepted to the honors college would post here about whether or not they got merit, and if the merit came before or after the HC acceptance.
No, he has not accepted admission and the merit came after the Honors College so not sure about the timing.
DD got merit before honors acceptance. Pitt doesnât carry merit with honors acceptance.
Right, thatâs what I said in my post. But someone is now reporting a letter dated after an honors acceptance. Pittâs honors college has received an infusion of funds recently, so It would be interesting to see if anyone else has had this experience.
I note some people got an unexpected late merit offer after not getting Honors. So it might be unrelated.
Do you know if that means that kids that were waitlisted cannot get any merit?
Correct. They give a small percentage of applicants merit so it goes to top accepted students.
Ok, thanks. My daughter applied very late (2/23).
Honors college triggers another round of merit given out
