<p>I have three questions:</p>
<p>When are merit-based scholarships awarded?
Have they already been awarded?
Are they awarded all at once, or in waves?</p>
<p>I know it's of questions and I'd be grateful if someone would provide me with the answers. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>most university-wide schols have been doled out. </p>
<p>departmental schols will be done handing out in the next few weeks.</p>
<p>There are sort of two categories of scholarships… College-specific and campus-wide. Each college handles their own college-specific scholarships separately; for example, all the engineering scholarships are already offered.</p>
<p>The campus-wide ones listed [url="<a href=“http://admissions.illinois.edu/cost/scholarships_ALLdisciplines.html]here[/url”>Page Not Found, Illinois Undergraduate Admissions]here[/url</a>] have probably not been given out yet; they’re estimated to go out in mid-March though, so they could be offered any day now.</p>
<p>Really though, don’t bank on merit aid from UIUC. If you get it, that’s fabulous, but they have little to give considering they’re located in the state of Illinois.</p>
<p>Thanksk a lot!</p>
