That’s great! Congrats! We will have to keep an eye on the mail. My daughter received her acceptance in December too.

Do you mind sharing stats? I’m wondering if my D21 has a shot of getting the Buckeye.
My son received a letter yesterday, got Maximus and National Buckeye, so we are now figuring out when to try to visit campus! School of Business. 34 ACT, 4.5 GPA, I think 12 APs and summer college classes. Good luck everyone.

For what it’s worth - our son has also applied to another Ohio School (Miami) and he hasn’t received an merit awards from them either. I think b/c this year was “test optional”, many schools are assessing the pool of admitted AND accepted students to see how best to spread the awards. Our older two children always got merit awards much quicker but that’s when the awards were more black and white (GPA and test score matrices).

Received National Buckeye and Maximus yesterday.

My daughter applied EA in September and received her admissions letter and merit award on 12/15. Most instate we are aware of received their admissions letter and merit award by mid January. All submitted test scores as well.
We are nervously and anxiously waiting to see if anything comes in the mail. We are OOS and with this being a second child in college at the same time, we are hoping for merit.
Well the letter arrived Friday in the mail for the Maximus, but I don’t want to commit to that being the first notification for it because I don’t know how often D21 checks her portals and she was accepted in the 12/15 group so it could very well have been there before Friday too (in-sate, 4.2GPA, 33 ACT, 9 APs).
Interesting…I don’t believe they send notification of merit scholarships via email or make it available anywhere on the portal. If I’m wrong please someone speak up…
I thought scholarships were sent via snail mail.
Oh okay, I didn’t know that, then yes it came on Friday, so about 6wks after acceptance.

sorry let me correct…my earlier post about greeting her admissions letter and merit on 12/15 was mistakenly referring to another school. She actually got her acceptance to OSU via the portal on 12/11. She has not yet received a merit letter but another friend whose daughter was accepted has not yet either. As it appears merit letters may just be going out now we are hoping to receive one this week.
