Ohio State University Morrill Scholarship program information and updates for students admitted into the 2018 Fall semester.
Please send any updates about when you received news on your acceptance into MSP, award level, etc.
Does anyone know if OOSers can receive the Excellence level scholarship which is equivalent to IS tuition?
Already an existing string a few rows down with many entries. Called Morrill Scholarship 2018.
Is there an interview for the morrill scholarship?
Yes, but no. It’s not a requirement by the applicant, but the office will email if there is need to interview you on their part.
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.
Are people notified if they don’t receive the morrill?
Hey I have been chosen to interview for the Morrill Distinction.
@Formation so did I. Congratulations!!!
@Formation and @camcam2022 How were you notified for the opportunity to interview for the Distinction? Our initial notification of the Prominence came via email and it did not mention anything about Distinction. In seems that in past years, the initial letters with the Prominence award also mentioned the consideration for Distinction but some letters did not…However some without the wording or the extra sentence eventually got notification . Do these notifications gt sent to the Buckeye email or the Personal email? Thank you.
@Boomer1964 the original Prominence Award letter had a paragraph at the end stating I would know by Jan 12 if being granted an interview for Distinction. Came in personal email.
@camcam2022 Thank you for your quick reply… Congratulations to you and nothing but the best for that interview. It is incredible life changing opportunity to be able to get this award or any of the Morrill Scholarships for that matter. . Sending you and everyone good vibes.
@Boomer1964 , My Letter started of by stating that I have received the Excellence award and stated that it covers tuition for all four years.
A paragraph later it mentioned that I was being considered for Distinction level. They then stated that I might be considered for an interview.
A day ago I was notified that I was selected for and interview and invited to Distinction weekend. Which is the Dinner on Friday and the Interview on Saturday.
Mine came through my personal email.
@Boomer1964 thank you and yes to just to experience the Distinction Weekend is a blessing and honor. Are you familiar with it? I am still in shock.
@Formation Congratulations!!! Amazing opportunity!
@camcam2022 Unfortunately I am not familiar with it. I received the Prominence which I am extremely thankful for. You might want to ask @jaysoneric8 , I believe she received the Distinction Award last year and she can probably fill you in with all the details
@Boomer1964 I identify as a male so my pronouns are he, him his, but no worries! @camcam2022 I received the Distinction Award and have applied to work Distinction weekend for the incoming Distinction interviewees so I can definitely give you some insight! Congratulations on getting an interview! Again anyone who has questions about the scholarship, MSP, Distinction Weekend, or any other aspect of student life at tOSU can just DM me! I’ll be more than willing to help anyone out!
@Boomer1964 , if you are concerned with dorm costs have you considered completing the Special Scholarships Application? There are two Dorm Scholarships:
The Stadium Scholarship:
https://housing.osu.edu/learningcommunities/stadium-scholarship-program/
The Alumnea Scholarship housing: with this one you don’t have to purchase a meal plan.
https://housing.osu.edu/learningcommunities/alumnae-scholarship-housing/
They reduce your dorm costs to between, $2,000 to 3,000 per year. You can stay in them for up to three years I believe.
@jaysoneric8 , what were the types of questions that they have asked you?
So I received this email after asking if all the morril scholarships had been sent out:
“Morrill Scholars Program awarding for all the tiers are done on a rolling basis. This means from November-February award recipients will be notified. All applicants are notified of their decision in either direction as well.”
