Are in-state students getting any offers of merit aid along with acceptance to the honors program?

<p>My in-state daughter received a letter of acceptance to UD and also the Honors program last week. She was very excited to receive the letter but disappointed that there was no mention of any merit aid. </p>

<p>My older daughter received an offer of merit aid along with her acceptance letter 2 years ago, and I have seen OOS posters reporting merit aid offers on CC. </p>

<p>I know that admissions are being handled differently this year, but we we are trying to figure out if merit aid might come later or if she isn't being offered any.</p>

<p>Merit was listed on the UD portal, not in the acceptance letter if it was awarded. </p>

3

<p>No award of any kind listed on her portal :frowning: Her stats are awesome - 2230SAT, 35 ACT, National Merit Semi-Finalist, likely Finalist, 3.95U/W GPA, 7 APs, 2 varsity sports, good service, good recommendations. Very disappointing! </p>

<p>did you check on the right side of her page under financial aid? That is where my daughter’s was listed. It does not appear with the congratulations message</p>

5

<p>The “View Financial Aid To Do” - link to the right? is not a live link on my daughter’s page. </p>

<p>There is a live link for “Apply for Financial Aid”, but it is just generic instructions to submit the FAFSA. </p>

<p>There are also live links entitled “Pay Deposit” and</p>

<p>“View Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation”, which I thought was strange because she is not a transfer student. Is that link on everybody’s portal?</p>

<p>That seems odd. Once you log in and the you get the congratulations message, go to the right. Under my
Check List there is a blue box. The first item listed is “My awards and Financing”. Under it says “View My FAAN”. Click on that and it will bring you to financial overview page. about 1/2 way down you will see the award listed.</p>

7

<p>In the blue box under check list is where the other links I mentioned are located, but there is no link called “My awards and financing”.
Does your student’s portal also list the link entitled “View Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation”? Trying to figure out if I should have my daughter contact admissions.</p>

<p>The blue box on our page is below where it says “View Prelim…” In the box are your invitations, dates of past visits etc.</p>

<p>Sorry - the blue box is under the check list area- </p>

<p>This is displayed in the top right of the page under the Compass/My Checklist</p>

<p>My Checklist</p>

<pre><code>Apply for Financial Aid (optional)
Pay Deposit
Read about Dining Plans
View Financial Aid To Do
View Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation
</code></pre>

<p>Then under that is a blue shaded box with:</p>

<p>My Reservations
My Invitations
My Past visits
My Profile
My Application
My Majors</p>

10

<p>Should be right above “My Reservations” in the blue box. Everything else is the same as on our portal. I would call tomorrow. </p>
