Is there a groupme created for this?
@oreo32 Yes! Before they offer you an interview for Distinction you have to be awarded Prominence or Excellence.
@moleculardreams I’m assuming you’re referring to hearing about the interview for Distinction? If I remember correctly, I received a Distinction interview notification in the same email I received the notification for Prominence. It read something like, “…you are being considered for the Morrill Scholarship Program’s premier award, the Distinction Scholarship.” And if I remember even more, Distinction Weekend (the weekend they invite those interviewees on campus for a dinner and some other activities) is in early-mid February. I’m not sure how the process will be this year though! So definitely keep an eye out!
Looks like scholarships are rolling out again a friend of mine just got one today
@Meismeis did they get email or snail mail notice? That is awesome for your friend.
@Meismeis I assume you mean Morrill, given the thread you are on (as opposed to national Buckeye,Provost or Trustee?)
Yes my friend got the morrill scholarship and was notified today through email.
They were admitted on 12-15-17
I received an email stating I received the Prominence Scholarship today! I’m very excited, as tuition was definitely a big factor considering I’m oos.
I was accepted online on 12/15
I received a snail mail acceptance on 12/23
I received a snail mail acceptance into my school (Health & Rehabilitation Sciences) on 1/2
I received an email about rating preferences for Scholars Program 1/3
I received an email rewarding me the Prominence Scholarship 1/5.
@oreo32 Congratulations and the best of luck to you.
So excited to receive the Prominence Award and waiting to see if chosen to interview for the Distinction Award. What a great surprise to end holiday break.
@oreo32 Congratulations. We have an identical timeline of events.
@jaysoneric8 if you receive the Distinction Award are you required to live in the Morrill LLC? Or can you chose others as part of Scholars such as Mount Leadership?
Do they email rejection letters as well, or just acceptances? Also, for Ohio State how do you find out if you were admitted to honors?
I am curious to hear what topic you guys wrote on if you don’t mind. Must be great essays if you were awarded any three of the scholarship levels! I wrote mine about lack of socioeconomic diversity in healthcare
@camcam2022 Congrats! And I also put mount leadership as my first scholars preference, that’s crazy! Hopefully you get in! 
Someone who is a Morrill Scolar this year said you choose where you go if you get into both!
@TGBuckeye I wrote about race diversity in schools, the medical field (I want to be a doctor), and a community in general and the benefits it yields
@TGBuckeye I discussed my diverse background both ethnically and socioeconomically resulting in how it has shaped me to want to champion for the underdog.
Are people notified if they don’t receive the Morrill or do they only notify recipients?
@Ih1310 I emailed them about when we find out in mid-December and they said you find out by end of February either way.
