Morrill Scholars Program Class of 2020

If anyone is interested, I have an email from ODI saying that around 4200 people applied for the scholarship, and they are planning on awarding around 350.

I would assume that means they will award more than the 350 and ultimately have 350 to accept. However, I may be wrong.

If we haven’t heard yet does it mean we didn’t get the scholarship?

@globalthinker They continue notifications until the end of March.

@Zutaran @whs2016 I believe they only award 350 people. The website says they award over 300 scholarships. I can’t imagine them awarding more than that.

Anyone know when we find out whether we got it?

@redandblack I was told by the end of March :slight_smile: So soon!! Good luck :slight_smile:

Anyone still receiving Morrill?

I’ve been waiting @countrylife

around what time have people been receiving the notification email?

@kau123 My S received his in the middle of the night.

What notification are you referring too @kau123 and SALSRL? Is it for the Distinction Scholarship? Does anyone know when the interviewees will be notified? Thank you in advance for any news.

@muzic123 we’re supposed to hear by the end of March!

Thank you @freezycool :">

Does anyone know how many Distinction Scholarships are awarded? I am very grateful for the full-tuition already and don’t want to sound greedy, but like the speaker said at the dinner, the Distinction Scholarship is just the gravy. Good luck to anyone who is waiting to hear back.

@muzic123 I was told that the money changes each year, based on the size and qualifications of the candidate pool. Last year it was 48!

@redandblack @countrylife @globalthinker I just attended a Buckeye Lunch yesterday, and I was told that the final wave for the Morrill scholarship and all the honors and all will be sent out this Friday. Best of luck!

Thank you!

Thanks!! @glm1998

@glm1998 Do you mean like for those who haven’t received any notification regarding the scholarship?
