<p>Pitt has several scholarships to help increase diversity on campus. I bet you would qualify for one. If I were you, I would call the office of admissions and financial aid. It wouldn’t hurt. (In my daughter’s case, the scholarship letter came about two weeks after her acceptance.) And you can ask about the Chancellor’s too. Yes, it is a separate application. Sorry, I don’t know too much the timing of that, because my daughter didn’t apply.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t know where else you applied, but some colleges that meet 100 percent of need (unlike Pitt) can be very generous.</p>
