No, ours was in the communication center as a letter/email and when we clicked on that it gave us the view of the actual letter and award and that was for both of my kiddos. Same thing in both of their student accounts under student center.
@w00pw00p merit aid comes via regular mail, and last year people did receive merit well into the spring. So don’t lose hope if you haven’t received anything by now. But it’s not going to be on the FA award unless you had already been notified via regular mail.
Our merit aid appeared on the FA documents. We did not receive any notification of the merit aid by email or regular mail. Just happen to come across the document when clicking through the MyU portal.
ok thank you very much everyone! We will sit tight 
Got mine in the mail today. They aren’t giving me any aid so guess I won’t be attending. Oh well.
My D got her financial package in the mail today.
A very small U Promise scholarship, a slightly larger grant, and guaranteed work study means she’s likely going to be a Gopher. We are in-state.
(Still would love an Honors invite for her, but not holding out a lot of hope for that.)
Where in the portal is Honors indicated?
If you are invited to Honors, that message will be on the Tracker and then followed up bu a regular mail letter.
@JBStillFlying do you mean this tracker (https://admissions.tc.umn.edu/tracker/) or the communication center?
@w00pw00p - was referring to the Tracker (the link) but my son’s honors notification also showed up in his Com Ctr. Seem to recall that the latter may not have been true for everyone in the beginning so you are best off checking the Tracker. Honors via tracker has been the standard procedure for several years now.
@Siena19 I would still check the mail for scholarships cuz I just got a 5k one two days ago with no prior scholarships given. Maybe you’ll be lucky like me :). I also received a financial sheet in the mail in febuary with no scholarships on it (meaning I was recently given this- it was the Bentson Family Scholarship)
@Lauren8040 Thanks. I did get a 10k scholarship offer in the mail a couple of days ago, but 30k+ is still way too much for me to pay. Congrates on your scholarship though!
