Has anyone received OSU financial aid info? We received news of the Morrill scholarship but still doesn’t show up on sons financial aid award page.
This isn’t going to be updated for months. I can’t remember the exact time frame for when this was updated for me as a freshman, but it’s always in the summer now that I’m an upperclassman.
I was told it would be this week.
We were also told at an Arts & Science Experience Day this weekend that it would be out by the end of the month (so hopefully tomorrow).
Has anyone received a decision from special scholarships?
The page you are referring to lists merit as well as need-based, which will not be fully updated until the summer.
I just spoke with someone in the financial aid office and she said financial aid info for new students will start getting posted tomorrow. She also said it could take a couple of weeks to get everything posted.
@klb222 so your FAFSA has been completely reviewed as well, you have completed verification if that was required, and that aid will also be posted tomorrow? I’m not denying the special scholarships will be posted soon, I’m just saying that page (the one OP was talking about) is not going to be 100% updated by tomorrow when they haven’t even accepted the whole incoming class yet. They have a limited amount of grants to give out, and it’s pretty unfair to give them all out to EA incoming freshmen.
@JBuck7 The person I spoke with in Financial Aid said they would start posting them tomorrow, not that everything would be posted tomorrow. Yes, my daughter’s FASFA has been reviewed and verified. She was accepted in November.
We were there yesterday for an Admitted Student Day. They confirmed that financial aid info would come out by the end of the month(which technically is today). They didn’t really say how it would come out or if the Buckeye Link would be updated. Just said it would be out by the end of February.
Financial aid award is now showing up on my D’s buckeye page.
My daughter’s financial aid portal was updated this afternoon. It contained grant and loan info but no scholarships. She was eligible for the Trustees Scholarship. Does this mean she did not receive it?
I got an email saying that I have received a financial aid portal update, but whenever I log in, all I can read is: “Awards under Review” but nothing monetary there? Anyone have this too?
@OSUMom20 My daughter was eligible from Provost but was awarded Trustee. I heard from some other parents that OSU sometimes adjusts these scholarships after some kids decide to go to other schools (after May 1).
I just received my financial aid. However, I was expecting to see some kind of scholarship from my special scholarships application. Does anyone know if the special scholarships are included in this financial aid package that just came through?
@louieb123 I asked someone in the FA office that question yesterday and she said decisions about Special Scholarships will be posted (on that same page) as they receive them. It could be over the next 2-3 weeks.
@klb222 I sure hope you are right. My D met the criteria for National Buckeye and Maximus but was awarded National Buckeye and Provost. Another $2500 would make a huge difference to us with paying OOS. Fingers crossed!!!
Does anyone else have experience with scholarships being bumped up to the next level?
Was told by admissions officer that merit awards are final, due to the nature of the program. If anyone else hears otherwise, please post.
