I recently petitioned to become a direct admit. I applied after the November deadline and am a bit confused since I have no received a financial package email yet. If they accept my appeal, will they consider me for scholarships by any chance? Or is the opportunity taken off the table because I did not apply by November? I was under the impression that direct admits are automatically offered some form of scholarship money. If anyone knows and can clarify, I would really really appreciate it. Thanks!
Direct admit for what?
@NYGirl17 I assume you are asking about Indiana University, but it may be helpful to clarify. Assuming you are asking about Indiana, it may depend on the specific college at IU. I know some of the direct admit scholarships required a selective scholarship application (SSA), which was due Jan 5th I think. My daughter was direct admit to education, and with that admission was invited to apply for the Education Direct Admit Scholarship, and also the Hutton Honors college scholarship. They are treated as separate scholarship applications. Given how late it is in the application season, you would probably be best served calling the financial aid office and your (major) school directly to ask them.
My daughter received her education direct admit scholarship notification last week I think, and is expecting to hear about the honors scholarship this week. She received notification on the the Dean’s scholarship back in November.
Hope that helps, and good luck with your decision process.
My D also received her notification of DA to School of Education and also received her Education DA scholarship information the other day. There were two other SSA applications she was invited to complete, the Cox Scholarship and another IU one and the deadline for those submissions are March 10th.
Not sure what program you are petitioning for but you may be past the deadline for many of the SSA scholarships. I do know for some of the automatic scholarships, I believe you had to hit the Nov. 1 deadline for consideration for those. You are best to call the school and ask what you might be eligible for at this point.
Received Hutton Scholarship today via mail. I am a direct admit to Arts & Science and was told those scholarships come out mid March. Received Dean’s early on. If you did not meet the SSA deadline scholarship opportunities may unfortunately be fewer for you.
You probably won’t get any money because you applied late if you are talking about Kelley. Direct admits do not automatically get scholarships
