Chances at Merit Scholarships?

I was taking a look at some of the scholarships that are available to OOS students. My first question is have they given out these scholarships yet?? And my second question is do I have a chance at getting any of them with a 4.0 unweighted GPA, 2050 SAT, and a diverse list of leadership positions/ECs?? Thanks!

I’d say you do. I haven’t heard any given out yet, and I haven’t received one myself. I have a 4.0+ and 33 ACT.

Thanks @Sammon22. That’s good news for me that they haven’t gone out yet. Sounds like you have a better shot with that 33 ACT than I do, but still hoping I can get something! Good luck!

Thank God! I’m out of state too and was starting to get worried that I haven’t recieved any info on scholarships yet

Financial Aid and Scholarships notifications will be sent out sometime in the next two weeks. Based on past years, expect it soon (as early as next week).

Sons friend heard via email today…$16000 OOS NY. He is the only one that we know of that has heard.

if we didnt hear today out of state does that mean we didnt get one?

I don’t know of anyone than that one student that heard. Very odd.

@cbpmom Do you know the student’s SAT and GPA who got the scholarship offer?

I got the 20,000 dollar scholarship yesterday. they are already out

I got the $20,000 (Presidential Scholarship, $2,500 a semester) today. However my sister who applied and got it haven’t gotten hers yet. Still waiting. So I believe that they are sending them lit now.

No, they come out over a period of time, usually up till the end of the month.

Good Luck everyone!

Actually this year the emails all went yesterday. The Admissions Office has no other awarding planned. There was a very strong applicant pool and only a few hundred students were able to receive awards.

how do you know that @Melissa96

@cbpmom - I asked and that is what I was told.

i am on hold with them now for 17 minutes! will keep you posted!

Oh no is that true??

@cbpmom‌ Have you heard anything yet?

I just called, all e-mails have been sent out guys. Congrats to those who received it!

I just received an email back from them, and they told me that the scholarship letters will be mailed out by the end of the week.
