Has anyone received notification of qualification for the Cincinnatus Scholarship? We have not heard anything, but I noticed that we heard about the honors program several days later than others.
I think letters are supposed to go out sometime this week for those that qualify for Cincinnatus then next month a follow up letter with the actual amount. Good luck.
More info… email notifications will go out probably this week. Hard copy via snail mail next month.
Thanks MyBjnk! I will make sure my D checks her UC email regularly.
I just spoke to someone in the FA office (really nice and very helpful) who told me that they are shooting for emails to be sent tomorrow, but all should receive one (who are being considered) by Tuesday. The email will contain the minimum scholarship they are being considered for, but the actual amount will not be determined until March, when the student will be contacted again.
Thanks broadwaybaby!
Anyone receive an email today? I’m hoping they just did not go out yet.
We haven’t received any email either.
Also no email. I spoke to some one in FA office on Friday. She told me they were trying to get notices out on Friday, but might be as late as Tuesday. She asked for my D’s name and told me that she was on the list to be considered for the Cincinnatus. She also said that students offered the honors program were considered. Does not mean she got a scholarship, but being on the consideration list means she has a chance.
No news today. U of Cincinnati closed due to inclement weather according to their website. Tells me that Cincinnati is more Southern than I realized.
The campus is loaded with hills. With the storm hitting for most of the day, I’m assuming the closing is more to avoid broken bones than anything else.
The Blizzard of '78? I was stuck in Dabney Hall for the weekend; I was there visiting a friend just prior to a Monday morning official campus visit and interview – never happened because the campus was closed. But I attended anyway.
In any case, my son did not receive Cincinnatus notification – but on Friday, he received email inviting him to apply for a Demakes (Alumni) Scholarship. I am a grad, as was my Dad (Architecture '53). He met my mom while he was off on a co-op term I think that makes me a product of the UC Co-op program twice-over.
Any emails sent out today? Everyone, keep me posted! Meanwhile I will be anxiously checking my email every hour for these next few days…
No email here. UC has been closed since last Friday due to the weather, so I assume it will be tomorrow at the earliest or maybe Friday. I’m just guessing though. Anyone else?
No emails for us either! I have made the same assumption about the timeline for notification. Hard to wait. Hope the weather allows them to open back up tomorrow.
They’re supposed to open at 11am today, eastern time. With the known efficiency issues of UC offices on normal days, I assume we won’t hear anything regarding the scholarship today. I plan on calling to check the status of that, and I will post about what they say.
Just checked their website. UC is closed again on 2/19!
Goodness gracious!
20 degrees, mostly sunny, 0% chance of precipitation tomorrow for Cinci. They should be back to reg schedule tomorrow. Fingers crossed, 'tis an anxious wait.
due to the wind chill today they decided to close the campus instead today
