My son was accepted with $12K a year scholarship. What is the range of merit being offered? Waiting for honors decision now.
On their website it says $8 to $12K. In past years, I’ saw someone post 19.5K so i don’t know if it’s gone down or perhaps they got other college money. The Honors College weekend gives you a chance to earn more. Unfortunately this year it’s online - next weekend. Invite was sent in December I believe.
yes there are scholarships for honors weekend but more honors acceptances will come out for those not yet invited
D21 was accepted! She’s so excited and we’ve booked the campus tour for next month. Congrats to all who’ve been accepted. BTW - was the merit mentioned in the acceptance notification posted the portal for those accepted today?
D’s scholarship was included in her acceptance letter in the portal.

Hi everyone. I was accepted with a merit scholarship, but there was no mention of the honors college. Any idea of when my letter of denial/acceptance would come out?
My son just got email to check portal. However, not able to find where decision letter is. What part of the portal is the letter in?
Son still cant access portal. Called admissions and they stated its likely because he applied on common ap? Did everyone apply on their site or use common ap?
They are supposed to be sending him instructions - been over an hour. Seriously, has anyone else had difficulty with the portal?
My son got in this morning! Congrats to all!
son applied on common app and can log in to see decision. still can’t see anything about honors.

My OOS daughter got in yesterday. No mention of merit aid or scholarship in her acceptance letter though. Did everyone who got a merit scholarship complete the honors college application? Or are merit scholarships awarded without applying to the honors college? My daughter is happy with the acceptance, but we can’t afford it without some financial aid or merit award.
Who applied EA and waiting to hear about Honors? Seems like one person got news at the same time as their admission decision. But we are still waiting. Not sure if that means anything. Also my son never got an email to check the portal for his decision, he just did based on hearing decisions were out. But we did get an email this morning with next steps.
My daughter got in yesterday with an unexpected merit scholarship. She did not apply for it, it is awarded by the admissions committee, unlike the honors college for which you need to apply. Hope that helps.

My daughter never got the email to check her portal either. She just checked it and got in as well. I believe the honors college are on some sort of rolling basis, unlike the merit scholarships which are awarded with the admission decision.
My daughter applied through the common app and received, a few days later by email, a link to the CofC admission portal. She just had to change her password to activate it. So far, it stated “your application is complete”. Last night, it changed to “your decision is ready” with a link to “view your decision”. Her admission letter opened up in a different window. Hope that helps.

My son was just notified he was accepted into the Honors program. I know that you have a choice of 3 dorms? Does anyone have any good/bad info on each of the dorms?
congrats! how was he notified and what time?
If your son is part of this week’s Honors sessions, it’d be a good question to ask. Or on further student panels they will have. Seems the student panels are where the best info comes from.
Thanks. He was just notified via email this evening. Around 11pm eastern time.
How does he take place in the honors sessions? Thanks.
