Congrats! I had my application in JUST before the merit deadline (Jan 4) and I just heard yesterday. I received the same "amount" of funding (I applied for part-time so I received 2 credits per semester). Do you know how likely (given decent grades) that that funding will be renewed every year? Good luck to everyone still waiting! Hang in there!
Thanks for starting this thread! I've been wanting to ask the same thing. I applied on January 4th (just made the merit deadline) and haven't heard anything yet.
Good luck everyone!
