<p>You look like a great candidate for the Honors Program. Keep up the good work and expect a scholarship to be thrown in your direction as well.</p>

<p>Are you instate by any chance? If so that will help even more.</p>

<p>Does UConn consider everyone that applies for a scholarship? Or only if you applied by a certain date/checked something off in your application?</p>

<p>@TeenageDreamer When I applied two years ago UConn had Early Action(EA) and it was advised that you apply by the EA deadline for the best scholarship consideration.</p>

<p>Since UConn no longer has EA, I would assume that they consider everyone who applied by the Jan 15th deadline for a scholarship. Traditionally most of the scholarship money goes to students invited into the honors program but they are also offered to non-honors students.</p>

<p>The most common seems to be the academic/leadership excellence scholarship which is a 1/2 tuition scholarship. Valedictorians and Salutatorians automatically receive full tuition scholarships.</p>

<p>The scholarship letter will come in the mail with your acceptance package which will arrive after your online admission decision.</p>

<p>Actually just checked the website and applications submitted by DECEMBER 1st are given priority consideration for these scholarships.</p>

<p>TeenageDreamer-My son is a freshman this year. When he applied last year, you had to have your app in by Dec 1st for consideration for scholarships.</p>

<p>One comment to make on the scholarship front- I’m not sure as far as other grants go, but nominations for the Nutmeg Scholarship (that offers a full ride and whatnot) had to be completed by November 1, according to the website.

Pretty bummed about missing that myself, but since it wasn’t a widely advertised date my counselors were unaware too.</p>
