BBA scholars are granted immediate undergraduate access into the Cox School of Business. It also comes with a supplementary scholarship. I believe the amount is usually between 5,000 and 7,000 dollars.
From what I was told, my daughter didn’t qualify for a merit scholarship. There was no mention in her acceptance letter so I wanted to confirm. 28 ACT, 3.75 UW GPA, 4.95 W GPA - they apparently only consider highest test scores and grades for merit $.
@jshep29 I called Cox and they told me that
And they notify by email and mail, email first. I have not heard anything yet
@brytinstaab awesome, thank you so much for your help!
My daughter received a $10,000/yr scholarship. She earned a 30 on the ACT and has a 3.75 unweighted GPA. 12+ Honors/AP classes.
Has anyone heard from Lyle Engineering? I got the Discovery scholarship today and was wondering if they are giving anymore awards later.
Does anyone know how and when need based awards are offered?
@orange117, did you get the Discovery notification through email or snail mail?
@bogeyorpar I got it in the mail today. I live in the Dallas area so maybe that’s why it came so quickly.
DS got a Discovery notification by email today.
Has anyone gotten a letter or email about being a PS finalist? I know it’s usually done in February, but some people got them in December last year.
If SMU is your top choice, it might be worthwhile to reach out to Lyle Engineering in the spring. We were down to deciding between 2 schools and asked to be re-evaluated, if there happened to be any scholarship funds left (they’ll know more as their acceptances come in, close to the May 1 deadline). They were able to add a bit more to the Discovery - not a lot, but every bit helps. My D just finished her first semester at SMU and is very happy!
Hoping that business direct and BBA Scholar admission emails come out today. Please post if anyone receives an email.
Just received a Cox BBA Scholar email!
DD just got BBA scholar email! Yay!
Son received a business direct email! Happy with this as we thought BBA Scholar was a long shot.
Cox BBA scholar!! $7500 annually!!
Discovery Scholarship from Lyle!
So the letter you can stack it with “most” scholarships. Does anyone know which scholarships cannot be stacked with offers like Discovery or BBA Scholar? If a student is fortunate enough to be selected for a Hunt scholarship, does that override all other scholarships, or is it stackable?
Finally the Discovery scholarship letter reached our house. I can’t believe they didn’t send an email or update the portal, just relying on snail mail.
Same question as @MylesCK and @Orange117 , is this it? Will there be more merit offer from Lyle? Which ones are it stackable with and not stackable with? I guess it’s stackable with Provost, but not Hunt?
