For those who got invites, did anything change on your portal? I ask bc for my sonâs acceptance and for his honors acceptance he never received an email with an update. Long shot for him, but staying hopeful.
Yes everyone who attends gets an additional scholarship although it replaces the merit award already given. In 2018 my daughter got the 24K which I think was the lowest of the awards.

Is your daughter in-state or OOS? The email said âThe value of these scholarships range from nearly the cost of tuition to awards that include tuition, room and board, most fees, and a book stipendâ. $24,000 would still still leave a tuition bill of about 10K for OOS. While I wouldnât complain about any additional scholarship amount, I wouldnât say $24,000 is ânearly the costâ of OOS tuition.
Im sorry I should have been clearer. They invite 85-100 or so to compete for the 15 -20 full scholarships. So there are 65-80 kids that donât get the full scholarship. For those students they give them some additional money. Back then I think it ranged from 24-36 if you didnât the the big award.

Hi everyone! Iâm participating in the discho weekend as a prospective student. Does anyone know whether all of the discho finalists who are not selected for the full ride DuPont scholarship receive one of the other scholarships? In other words, how many finalists will walk away with no extra financial aid?
I think everyone gets something.

Congratulations on such a wonderful honor. At least in 2018 when my daughter participated every who attended the weekend got additional merit money. In my oos daughters case she got the lowest additional
Amount such that her merit went from 17k to 24k. I think some may have gotten 28k and maybe some in low 30âs and of course maybe 15-20 DuPont full rides.
Good luck to you.
