Did you @metalmonk28 get the maximum scholarship or any other scholarships?
No the maximum scholarship is only awarded to the top 25 of the entering undergrad. class. That is a full ride+ a 3,000 dollar research grant. More scholarship info can be found here: http://undergrad.osu.edu/money-matters/scholarships.html. One can realistically earn up to 18k/year in scholarship money given that they are not an “academically exceptional senior” as the small scholarships may be combined with the National Buckeye Award so long as the award amount does not succeed the total cost of attending OSU. Keep in mind that the National Buckeye Award is only applicable to out of state residents.
I did not get any of the scholarships that could be added on to the National Buckeye Award.
Sorry, it is the maximus scholarship.
Award amount
$6,000 ($24,000 four-year value)
Criteria
Those considered rank in the top three percent of their graduating classes and have ACT composite scores of 32 or higher or combined SAT Critical Reading and Math scores of 1420 or higher. Excludes recipients of the Provost, Trustees and Academic Achievement scholarships.
Yes that is the scholarship than will grant out of state students 18k per year In merit.
Have you received that scholarship?
You seem to have the stats to get the scholarship.
As I said before, I did not receive any scholarship in addition to the National Buckeye Award. I received 12k per year in merit.

Merit Based Aid: Maximus Scholarship ($6,000 per year)
Hey guys. So I applied to Ohio State in January and received a letter that I would hear back by the end of March about my decision. Well It’s April 8th and still no word. I expected to be notified but wasn’t, to all that heard back, were you notified? I started my OSU.edu page, and it doesn’t say anything about application status. I’m not sure if I’m just not seeing where it is be or what, but I’m kind of freaking out. Where did it say that on your pages? Thanks for any responses.
Okay, kind of embrassing. Less than half an hour after I post ^^^ I figured out I was on the wrong website. I wish they had made it a little bit more straight foreward! Though it is likely more my fault than anyone elses.
@TangerineSpeedo did you get in?
