<p>I also have not heard of scholarships disappearing without good reason at any college. My D did not go to CMU, but got a very generous scholarship at her BFA school that was for all four years. In addition to that, which we knew when she was accepted (the amount and that it would be for all four years), in senior year she received three more smaller scholarships from the university…so it even went up. It is rare for it to go down without just cause. </p>
<p>I have another daughter accepted to CMU for grad school this year, though she has chosen to attend elsewhere. The program she was accepted to states clearly on their website, as well as she was told by the head via email last fall, that they give NO scholarships to this program. Alas, when accepted, she was offered a very nice scholarship to CMU, and they even increased the amount before she gave her reply. </p>
<p>This all is shared, along with pennmom, that you should not be afraid to apply due to cost until you truly hear about the offers. The price tag may not be the final cost. :)</p>
