I’ve heard from a pretty reliable source (someone with a connection in admissions) that the big scholarships will be changing from full tuition (or a percentage of that) to a fixed amount beginning with the next admitted class. I did not hear anything about the minimum requirements changing, however. I also didn’t learn anything about any changes to the NMF award.
It sounds like the big, automatic merit awards will remain very generous, but that they won’t expand each year as tuition inevitably rises. We likely won’t know anything until the next budget is approved. Last year that wasn’t until September, I believe, but I think they’ll make a decision about scholarships before that.
