Morrill Scholarship Program- Class of 2022

@jaysoneric8 how do I DM within this chat tool?

@jaysoneric8 Oops never mind I figured it out. :smiley:

@jaysoneric8 My apologies!!!

@Formation Thank you for providing that information

@Formation I’m not sure if the questions would be the same so I wouldn’t want to give any false information. I can give general tips as far as what to expect. Expect to be asked questions relating to your service and commitment to academic excellence and diversity and social justice. I would visit the MSP website and read about what to expect from the program and how you can contribute. Make sure you are genuine and you have positive influences and positive role models in mind. The Distinction interview process is MSP’s chance to see who the real you is and how you interact with others in the program. Be yourself and be genuine. I can definitely answer more questions if you DM me!

@jaysoneric8 are there any other distinction interview weeks if the Morrill is done on a rolling basis?

If I still haven’t gotten a decision yet on whether I got into OSU, does that basically mean any chance of getting a distinction interview is over? Or is there a chance of being notified about admissions by Friday, and then getting notified about the Morrill scholarship immediately after.

@apk430 You had to apply to tOSU early action with a November 1st deadline to have the option of applying for the Morrill Scholarship. If you applied by the deadline and still haven’t heard back there is a chance you could be notified of the scholarship after you receive an acceptance.

@Meismeis There is only one Distinction Weekend. MSP does give you the option to do an online interview through Skype, or a program similar.

@jaysoneric8 Ok thanks, I applied on 10/31 so really hoping I’ll get the scholarship.

Hello! I also applied for the Morrill Scholarship. I was wondering when Distinction weekend is? Just to see if I still have a chance.

@priyaluvsbooks Feb 2-3

My daughter and I just attended Distinction Weekend. We were both very impressed with OSU, ODI, and the MSP. She is very excited to be an Excellence Scholarship recipient and to be part of these organizations. Anyone know when students who are selected for Distinction will be notified? And are you notified if you do not receive Distinction?

We were there too. Not sure but the experience was awesome.

I was there too and can say that I am so excited to be part of the ODI and the Morrill Scholars Program. What a wonderful group of people. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. Can’t wait for the fall!

I was never notified that I wasn’t accepted for the scholarship – does this mean there is a possibility they never received my application?

@showoto call ODI and inquire.

Has anyone heard back yet?

I have not heard yet.

Hey guys,

I just received the call that I had won the distinction scholarship. I certainly will be attending The Ohio State University-Columbus.

Thank God for no debt.

@Formation Congratulations to you. That is a HUGE deal…Since the distinction includes room and board, does that mean that you get that for all four years or just the required two years of campus living? See you in the program
