[quote=TheSpanishDoctor][quote=Anonymous]Duke made a change this year to their merit scholarships by only offering merit scholarships to enrolled students instead of accepted students, meaning only students who are committed to Duke can be considered for these scholarships. However, other Ivy leagues like Penn, Columbia, Yale, and Cornell will continue to use merit scholarships as a tool to recruit and enroll admitted students to convince them to take their offer over other peer schools. Thoughts?[/quote]

First-year students only discover their merit award status after enrollment deadlines, in case others were wondering: "There is not a separate application process for merit scholarships for incoming first year students, except for the Robertson Scholars Program. Your application to Duke University is the basis on which eligibility for merit scholarships is determined. If you are selected as a finalist for a merit scholarship, you will be notified via email from this office in early May. Finalists will then interview with scholarship selection committees and merit scholarships will be awarded no later than mid June."

Perhaps the change was made in light of the Initiative for Students from the Carolinas: [url]https://financialaid.duke.edu/initiative-students-carolinas/[/url].[/quote]
