Question about merit scholarship

<p>Pitt’s OAFA told me (a few years ago) that if somebody declines admission with scholarship, the do NOT offer it to the “next” person.</p>

<p>I wonder how big their backlog of unused scholarships is? It is a little misleading if they say they award 10 Chancellor Scholarships, buy only 5 kids matriculate. Then they have actually given 5 scholarships, not 10. I guess the money for any unused offers goes back into the kitty.</p>
