My D received a total of $17K from IU in 4 separate awards. No Merit from Purdue and no admittance to the honors program. They are the only school out of 8 to not offer a merit scholarship. Dissapointing since we are Purdue grads ourselves. I think the engineering program is stuck on their own prestige and/or they just don’t have the scholarship funds IU has. Mitch Daniels could do better! She recieved a you are a Boilermaker poster, and engineering fold out flag and a postcard from Purdue. That’s it! We have had reams of mailings from IU. Purdue didn’t even mail a admissions letter. We had to download it off the website. I can only surmise they are seriously struggling financially.
