what state are you from? We are in New York. Maybe the state has something to do with it.



The state, and when you apply, have a LOT to do with it. A lot of Pitt students who are not PA residents tend to come from neighboring states: mostly Ohio, New York, and New Jersey, with a lesser amount from Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. It is definitely harder to get money from these states compared to, say, California, Florida or Colorado.

Also, it is easier to get money when applying in September compared to December or January. Whenever they give out money (first-come first-serve since admission is rolling) it’s gone. The sooner you apply, the more money they still have to give out.
