Morrill Scholarship 2018

@cubschamps2016 Morrill continues awards into March.
@Tifejjewel Morrill requires early application submissions

@camcam2022 are you sure they go through March because I emailed one of the advisors last month and she told me everyone should know by the end of February but possibly the dates changed or they mentioned something to you at Distinction?

@moleculardreams We received an email and a postcard indicating “By late March, Ohio State will send an email about your financial aid offer.” A subsequent response indicated this includes Morrill and any special scholarships.

@runmamma I got the same postcard but I assumed that was specific to fin aid and not merit/scholarships, but I could be mistaken. Can you give more detail on the “subsequent response” indicating this included Morrill? thx!

@moleculardreams Classmate’s mom contacted ODI and was told through end of March

I wrote to them and specifically asked if scholarship decisions will have been made by end of March and they indicated yes.

Weird, when I contacted Ralph Cochran, the program director, he told me that awarding would continue through the end of February.

Ok so it seems we have 2 conflicting answers about how long they will continue to award scholarships.

I think a lot of things at OSU got delayed this year. My daughter just heard back from Eminence that she is a finalist. We also received notice that our financial aid decision would be later in March. Maybe they had a lot more applicants or good competition this year?

Daughter just got the email that she was not selected for the Distinction Scholarship. Looks like they have finished awarding those. Congratulations to all who are recipients.

I was recently accepted on 2/24. I did not apply by the EA deadline, but received email today that I was chosen for the Prominence Scholarship, and chosen to interview via phone call for the Distinction scholarship.

I am interviewing Monday. Does anybody that received Distinction know how long after your interview it took to hear back regarding if you received it?

@wj3lhs a couple weeks but maybe sooner since end of the wave

Other than the initial email notification of the award, has anyone received any other information in the mail or in writing? Received the award early on via an email. Since then, pretty much nothing about the program etc. I would think this would be consolidated with the final Cost of Attendance letter. Perhaps someone from last year has more information. Thanks

@mrminsky once you accept and pay $100 it will appear in financial aid package as a dollar amount I was told by ODI.

@camcam2022 All paid up :)) as of a few months ago. But no information yet

@mrminsky I know it hurt. $-)

So I emailed the adviser today to confirm that we will be notified through the end of March and she said that is correct. Although I assume it’ll probably be mostly rejections at this point. :frowning:

Concluding my phone interview for Distinction today, I was told that I’d know by the end of the week if I received it. So I’m inferencing final decisions will be known by the end of this week.

Just got my rejection about 20 minutes ago. Best of luck to the rest of you!
