I’m guessing they’ll be releasing randomly at this point. I turned my notifications on for email and I’ll forget about it for now.
They will be releasing randomly. The coronavirus closing the campus makes it a bit difficult for them to release on schedule so at this point I would just continuously check your email. The office said that all emails should be sent out by Tuesday since the end of March is their deadline. Everyone should be getting an email since they also have to send rejection emails by the end of March.
everyone who got accepted go add my snap: ajbbb9 trying to get some new friends for OSU.
I just got the rejection email earlier today, so some of you will also probably be getting news on whether you got it or not today. Good luck, I hope you guys get it!
I haven’t got anything yet…
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about the MSP early arrival program? How competitive is it to actually get accepted to it? Is it worth it? etc?
The early arrival program is a must. You get to meet some of the students in the program and you get to move earlier than everyone else. The question now will be if there will be an opportunity to do this come summer considering COVID 19.
Just an FYI to anyone that is still waiting to hear one way or another here’s some fun facts. My daughter applied in Oct., was accepted in Dec., direct admission to Fisher one week later, and was accepted into Honors in Jan. Never received any communication re Morrill. Today she called and after 20 minutes on the phone with the Diversity Office, they informed her they NEVER PROCESSED HER APPLICATION FOR MORRILL! They are processing it now and said they would contact her directly very soon. Wow what incompetence!
@riley19 that’s really helpful information!! I will call the office on Monday. My daughter, also admitted to Fisher (back in January) hasn’t heard anything from Morrill one way or the other. I will definitely follow-up because I know they are supposed to send a rejection letter even if you don’t get accepted. Thank you for your post.
@maddiepaige1234 how did you receive notification – at your personal email address or your Buckeye address?
Hi! Are your kids’ high schools doing anything to acknowledge that they are a Morrill Scholarship recipient? Just curious. I wonder if the high school counselors are notified by Ohio State about the award?
Ours were not notified nor did they do anything special and yes we are IS.
Thank you. My daughter’s HS is having a virtual awards ceremony but she is not receiving an award, which is fine… but it seems like the Morrill scholarship should be recognized, you know? Oh well.
Our HS GC does ask that all scholarships awarded be reported to them, even if not being accepted by the student, so that they can add up all scholarships earned by the class. It could get very complicated to celebrate awards publicly due to sheer time needed and where do you draw the line on which to celebrate if not all are celebrated? I think you should feel free to mention it to anyone who inquired about your child’s college choice. We had to tread lightly here because DD was awarded the Morrill but did not accept it. That would have felt really unfair to some at her HS that did choose OSU.
Anyone here waiting to hear about class of 2025 Morrill scholarship award? Do I need to start a new thread? LOL wondering how many awards are granted…

My daughter just got an email letting her know she got Prominence OOS. Also gets to interview for the whole ride in February!! Good luck to everyone!
Can someone explain what the commitment is for a student who receives the Morrill Scholarship? Are there specific meetings, extra-curriculars, or classes you need to take?
There are no classes per se but lots of group and event participation built around the Office of Diversity. Check out the Twitter/Instagram Morrill Scholars pages. Gives you more insight
