Did anyone get the Presidential Open house? What does that signify?
Can anyone speak to the details of the honors program? Is there separate housing? What are the typical SAT/ACT scores of kids who are invited? What perks are involved?
We received a separate letter with our merit award in it.
Regarding honors - http://miamioh.edu/academics/honors-programs/uhp/academics/index.html There are special honors dorms that honors students have priority. The biggest perk I have seen so far is honors schedules before most of the students. I believe my freshman son scheduled before seniors. That is a big perk .
Mynamajef my son got that invitation too. I think it is just for kids in the academic scholars program or honors programs. If you know anything other than that please let me know.
Has anyone heard anything about the Presidential Scholars?
Kstamp- no word yet about the Presidential Fellows pgm here in No CA…
Mynamajef- our D received the invitation, as well, as she was selected for the Honors and Academic Scholars pgms
Heiditree- thank you for the link!
I am an international student and I have been accepted to the College of Arts & Science in the Early Action–II round.
In my acceptance letter, it is mentioned that — “We are pleased to provide you with preliminary notification of your selection for a scholarship in the amount of $50000 for the 2019-2020 academic year. More details and your final scholarship award will be included in your acceptance packet.”
I have checked the website and found no information regarding any particular scholarship amounting $50,000. Does anyone know what this is actually? I am wondering because it is literally a full-ride scholarship!
It is probably 12,500 per yr for 4 yrs.
Just got a phone call informing selection for Presidential Fellow finalists
@citymama9, it is “$50000 for the 2019-2020 academic year.”
@mynamajef Congratulations!!
@mynamajef Any word on how many students were selected for the presidential fellows program? Did they send you an email also confirming your selection?
@rph16 apparently 5% of the around 1300 applicants, so 65. Yes, received an email today.
@mynamajef Did they say if all the students were informed by yesterday or will calls continue into next week? Also, will students who are not selected receive notification?
separate application for Presidential Scholarship and you need to write essays.
Received financial aid today! I was in state. I received 16,000 in merit aid but receive no financial aid. Which I’m a little confused on, but I’ll have a talk with my counselor about it.
Financial aid received today here in CA. We are thrilled Miami is now more competitive for us than the UC system schools (little to no merit). As posted elsewhere, D received $18k in merit from Miami :).
I applied to Miami University as a safety, but they gave me a crap ton of financial aid and it’s cheaper than a lot of the state schools of my home state, so I’m def considering it.
