***Official UIUC Class of 2019 Applicant Thread***

yes, my son got James Scholar for Business.

I cant find the scholarship section? Does this mean i got no scholarship??

Guys when do i have untill to accept admission and pay the 150$ deposit. Does doing so mean that i WILL HAVE TO withdraw my applications from all of my other colleges? Thanks

Yeah, there literally is no section that says scholarship for me.

I can’t see the scholarship section either :\

hm…so if you didn’t apply before the scholarship/priority deadline, you’re not getting and sort of merit aids? or just the big scholarships

Accepted into my 2nd choice - chemistry. What’s the chance I can get into my first choice mechanical engineering??

I applied priority, and it doesn’t say anything about scholarships.

Accepted to Econs, in LAS!! And me too, where do you see financial aid/scholarships?

or financial aid?

Accepted Civil Eng. 1st choice major! ranked 1st in country too!

Maybe they only told out of state about scholarships? I’ve only seen people talk about the university achievement scholarship, which is out of state. Anyone in state get a scholarship??

I’m in state and got a scholarship. But according to the FAQ , “If you’re selected for a scholarship, you’ll be notified between February 13 and the end of March.” So they probably haven’t sent them all out yet.

In state and got a scholarship so I don’t think it’s working that way

Engineering gives out scholarships at the end of the month.

@glladgrat that is a relief, where did you hear that from?
