Hello, my son was accepted into Computer engineering for the Fall 2017 term however, it doesn’t look as though he is going to be offered any merit $$ as we have not received any notification of any. If he accepts the admission offer, will he be eligible for merit scholarships the next year? I am confused as I saw where the college rep said yes but the info on this link says otherwise. Can someone please clarify this for me? Thanks… https://oafa.pitt.edu/financialaid/academic-scholarships/
Hello!
The scholarships listed on the link you provided are specifically for incoming freshmen. Scholarships for current students can potentially be found within the specific school/department you are enrolled in, opportunities differ from department to department. You would want to contact the School of Engineering directly to get more information on scholarship opportunities for current students: http://www.engineering.pitt.edu/Departments/Electrical-Computer/
A little more info on scholarships and types of aid can be found here here: https://oafa.pitt.edu/financialaid/available-aid-programs/

And I don’t think all merit notifications have gone out yet.
