Got a Dean’s Scholarship of 15k. A bit disappointed, as it forces me to rule out AU entirely. I was offered a scholarship of $25k a year from Loyola Maryland (which costs about the same as AU) and scholarships from Scranton and CUA that put those schools in the mid-20 range in net cost as well. To put things in perspective: attending AU would cost nearly $20,000 more per year for me than TCNJ ($18,000 per year). Sadly, I just can’t justify that.

It’s a shame, but it’s one of those things that clearly isn’t meant to happen. One more I can cross off the list at least Congrats to all those who are accepted and able to attend AU!

I do find it strange that American is actually lowering scholarship awards- you’d think that they’d try to offer more, especially with the economy being what it is.
