Buckeye Scholarship?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Ohio State University

<p>Hi, all! I was admitted Early Action to Ohio State Columbus campus for Fischer business school, and just got the physical letter today.</p>

<p>When a OSU rep came to my school earlier this fall she told my guidance counselor and I that anyone with the numbers listed for the “National Buckeye Scholarship for non-Ohio residents” would automatically receive the $12,000/year scholarship. </p>

<p>From the website, it says requirements are 28 ACT/1260 SAT and top 40% of class. I asked also what they do for schools which do not release class rankings, and she said they approximate based on school data.</p>

<p>I got a 33 on my ACT and my counselor says I am within the top 40%. Also, I am from CT.</p>

<p>Now I am worried, though. I specifically did not apply in-state to UConn because of this scholarship offer, and I am yet to recieve any notice of it.</p>

<p>Is this true that, because I have the necessary numbers, I will definitely get the Buckeye Scholarship? If so, does anyone know when I will hear anything about it?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>When I called Admissions about the same scholarship, they said that the notice on receiving the scholarship follows the Acceptance notice by a few weeks.</p>

<p>Awesome, thank you!</p>

<p>Remember that you can stack Merit aid on top of it and with your stats I think you should also get at least another $2,000. My S is in the same situation and it will probably be the deciding factor between OSU and Purdue.</p>

<p>So is it true that I will automatically receive this merit aid based on my numbers, or is there a review process?</p>

<p>Congrats on your acceptance, my son got his letter today as well :smiley: From what we were told by Admissions, the Buckeye Scholarship is strictly by the numbers. I don’t think you have to worry with an ACT of 33! I have read elsewhere on this site that the scholarship notifications go out in March, so don’t stress if you don’t hear before then :)</p>

<p>Yes the Buckeye Scholarship is strictly by the numbers, so you will get it. Son didn’t get notified until March though, so you may not hear until then. Congratulations!!</p>
