No Contact No Scholarship?

Same thing for my d - she got her merit scholarship as part of her acceptance letter. No mention beforehand. (Of course, she did interview, local to home, at one of their “road shows.”)

Merit scholarships are awarded by the Admissions office, while need-based aid comes from the Financial Aid office. If your son qualifies for merit, your EFC won’t matter. And the requirements for keeping most merit scholarships are extremely reasonable - “satisfactory progress”, which is basically a 2.0 stay-off-academic-probation requirement.

If you’re concerned about the lack of an interview, have your son call his regional admissions counselor and explain why there was no interview. Perhaps he could do a phone interview right then. (Hey, it couldn’t hurt to ask!)
