Just an FYI, my son is a freshman at OSU this year. He received National Buckeye only and found out right at the end of February last year. If they do it the same as last year they will go through all of the combo scholarships first and then do National Buckeye only. Unfortunately he missed Trustees by one ACT point when they upped the stats needed last year! But we are still so thankful for National Buckeye as it allowed him to choose out of state without a huge difference!
Has anyone received notification about the Trustee scholarship, along with the National Buckeye? It seems the Trustee/National Buckeye notifications should be going out soon, considering the National Buckeye will all be notified by the end of the Month.
I called Admissions and was told merit scholarships would be released by the end of the month.
Is there any correlation between being admitted into Honors and merit-based scholarships?
@OSUDad - It does not appear so in our case…my son was accepted in the 12/16 roll-out, received a Provost scholarship notice in early January, but has not received any communication re whether he was accepted into Honors yet.
We are in the opposite situation. Accepted into Honors, but not a word on scholarships and he is being offered quite a bit by other schools, so we are hoping for something.
My sister’s National Buckeye and Trustee came today!
@jnkam24 congrats!! What state is she in? And do you mind posting her stats and major? thanks!
@osumom28 Congratulations to your son! @jnkam24 Congratulations to your sister! My son was accepted into one of the Scholars programs and also has not heard anything about merit. We are hoping for something too, especially since we have plans to travel there on 3/1 and he’s also received some great scholarship opportunities from other universities.

One friend got a Trustee letter, the other got a Provost today. Both from Ohio. I don’t know their exact stats other than good ACTs - like in the low 30 range.

@kem978 Congrats! I assume you are an Ohio resident, correct?
My son just got National Buckeye and Trustees in the mail. He met the requirements for Provost but apparently got bumped down a level. Still a nice accomplishment that puts OSU into more serious consideration.
Son was accepted in the January wave of decisions and received National Buckeye and Maximus ($16,500/year) in the mail today.
