Because we offer admission and award scholarships on a rolling basis, we cannot guarantee that students admitted after April 15 will be awarded the PLEDGE Scholarship. We will be able to update applicants after April 15 on the status of the PLEDGE Scholarship. In addition, students admitted after April 15 may also be eligible for merit-based scholarships.
