Howard University Class Of 2021 Applicants

The strangest thing happened to me. I got accepted to the school, but yet they didn’t have my scholarship. I guess it’s a blessing, idk. Anyways does anyone know how long does it take for the financial aid/scholarship office to respond or for the official admission package to come in the mail?

@BrothermanZ I am not clear on your post. When you say ‘your scholarship’ what do you mean? I ask because HU no longer guarantees scholarships, from what I understand. For years, if you applied early and had certain grades and scores, you got specific scholarships. It was a clear formula (my child applied back in the day when this happened). However, my understanding is that that is no longer the case. They choose among the qualified to whom to give the scholarships. No matter how strong the scores and grades, they do not guarantee receipt of specific scholarships. So, are you referring to a scholarship you believe you qualify for and hope to get?
Also, @MSHopeful might be able to tell you the time frame between when her child was accepted and when she/he received notice of the Presidential Scholarship. From what I can gather from the posts, the scholarship did NOT come with the initial acceptance, but later.
Hope it works out for you.

@BrothermanZ I’m not sure I understand either, as @ReturningFavor said. However, I can tell you my DD was notified exactly one week after acceptance about the scholarship. We still have yet to get the packet in the mail, this was all by email.

I’m sorry I meant transcript, they accepted me without my transcript being sent in. But I thank you for your responses and hope that a scholarship comes my way.

How long did it take for everyone to receive an admissions decision?

If you’ll be class of 2021 too add me on Snapchat @terrica.w

Don’t know if you have already gotten your answer but my son had the same issue. When I called Student Accounts they were able to select “accept” on their end and now it shows up as being accepted.

My son received his scholarship notification within a week of receiving his acceptance. We did, however, complete the FAFSA on October 1st. I think that’s a key component.

Dudes will i get scholarship in howard if i begin my application process from now?the deadlne is shifted to mar 3.
Sat 1340,gpa 4

anyone from nepal who applied to howard n got scholarship decision?plz mention

Ok got a requirement link in bison web taking me to a scholarship acceptance statement. it contained a scholarship declination form as well. There were five must fill spaces in the esign document of that link. Out of these must fill spaces two of them were in declination form. I only want to accept the contract and think that If I fill my name in the declination form then my award might be cancelled. Unless I fill all the spaces of the esign document It cannot be signed and sent to the university. please Help!!!

@kelljo2000 Did you get a scholarship acceptance statement?

I got the same link as well. Just curious did they tell you what scholarship and how much it was that you received?

@BHCHGYH Hi received the same link, however I was not notified how much my scholarship was worth. Just curious if they told you the terms of the scholarship.

I got my scholarship acceptance today and frankly it’s not what expected. I got the Capstone although I qualify for the Founders, by their account. Does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade your scholarship or what to do to get reconsidered?

@tw1999 it was notified in the bison web as well as in the acceptance statement. I got confused on how to sign the contract though as there is an award declination form as well. Does your statement have it as well? How do you sign electronically without filling the declination form

How long would it take for Howard to get back to you RD? I applied Jan 30th, I’m pretty anxious.

How long did it take Howard to evaluate yours?

I got my acceptance email about a month ago, but still didn’t receive anything in the mail… I called the admissions office just now but they didn’t pick up lol

Admitted Students Day is March 31 - who’s going?
