Supplemental scholarships?

It’s really hard to predict merit for Purdue, especially for OOS. My daughter was accepted to honors college but no merit money. The valedictorian of her school with perfect stats was accepted to HC but also saw no merit money. The other four students who applied from her school were all NMF but didn’t even get into HC, let alone receive money. (All six of them applied for engineering though.)

My sense is that Purdue is more focused on keeping tuition low for all students as they are on year 8 of a tuition freeze.

Unfortunately our accepted parent FB group was filled with disappointed families choosing other schools with better merit packages for their uber bright kids last spring.

My advice is to have a affordable backup on the list that your daughter will be excited to attend just in case the merit $ doesn’t come through.

Wish I could have shared a different response!
