@TheDarkJedi: I will be happy simply with Excellence… I mean, I have already got the Provost and National Buckeye scholarships. Btw do they have interviews for the Excellence? And can this be combined with the Provost+National Buckeye …??? I am keeping my fingers crossed, coz I am too an US citizen living abroad…Where do you live now??
@Adwaya No. OSU does not stack scholarships. There is no interview for Excellence. So if you get Excellence you will ONLY receive full tuition not Provost and National Buckeye with it.
My son just received notification via email today that he received the Morrill Scholarship Excellence. It stated in his email that due to its high value, it will replace any other merit scholarships he has earned.
@Chopinsiano: Sorry, but what is exactly the value of excellence scholarship for Morrill? If it covers in-state tuition costs, the NBS+Provost will actually amount to more than that of Excellence, shoudn’t it?
@dmconn1: Congratulations to you and your son…Wud you mind sharing the amount of money he recieved? And what were his stats and notable EC’s…??
@Adwaya If you received NBS then you cannot be awarded Excellence. You will be awarded Prominence which covers OOS tuition.
@dmconn1 when was your son accepted?
He was accepted in the middle of December VaishS. He applied day before the ED
@Adwaya, he received the cost of tuition. He is in state. Stats middle of the road but holistic enough for direct admission into Fisher, and Scholars program. Appreciate the congrats, thanks.
GPA: 3.81
ACT: 29
EC - National Honor Society, Student Council, FCCLA State VP, Marching Band Drum Major, other Band etc, shift leader at after school job for almost 2 years, Football and Track, asst teacher at church 6 years, volunteer at retirement village, etc.
His essay was written from the heart with practical applications he felt he could contribute.
@Chopinspiano: Are Prominence invitations still going out.?? and do they too need the interview?
@Adwaya Prominence (full tuition) does not require interviews only Distinction (full ride). Prominence will continue to be awarded until the end of March.
@Chopinspiano : Thanks…I will keep my fingers crossed then… [-O<
Do you have to pay your acceptance fee before you receive word that you got the scholarship?
@Zutaran Nope 
Do OOS residents find our later than in-state residents if they got it?
Does anyone know in what order the scholarships notifications get sent out? I got accepted in Early December and have gotten into the Scholars program, but have not heard anything from the Morrill Scholarship and I am starting to get worried…
Thanks!
@atuatua From my understanding Morrill receives your application after you have been accepted into the university, so they do in fact have your application. There’s nothing to do at this point since they probably have most of their decisions made.
You still have a month left! Relax
Did anyone here who was selected to interview for Distinction get the email about sending in a headshot? I forgot to do so and am hoping it doesn’t affect my chances, lol. Also…I RSVP’d for the interview but forgot what time slot I selected, do they email us to confirm our interview time?
(I know, I know…I’m a mess )
Does anyone know what the interview questions are like?
@bobafetttea yeah one of them was “Who was to blame for the 2010 South Kyrgyzstan ethnic clashes”
