Does anyone know of past history from UIUC regarding OOS merit scholarships? Is it very limited? Trying to see what my chances are for merit.
Counting days until 2/13.
Depends on the College and department. They do not have a good reputation for merit aid at all.
Good news is that they have threatened to have all scholarship awards announced with admissions decisions, so you don’t have long to find out.
I’ve applied to College of Engineering. 31 ACT and 3.5 GPA. Accepted to Clemson, NEU and Purdue. Hoping UIIC offers a sweet deal to trump the other schools.
Don’t count on any merit aid. My son had higher stats than you and did not get a penny of merit scholarship. Although, he was offered a study abroad scholarship which I suspect is available to all Engineering students.
Bummer…I’m sure when you are ranked #5 in Engineering you don’t have to offer to much to get good students.
At least they should offer some merit money for OOS students, too expensive other wise.
hmm…I wonder if merit scholarships take residency into consideration or if it is based solely on a student’s stats. My DD (in CoB) got 2 merit scholarships and we’re in-state.
If you don’t mind can you please share your daughter’s stats. My son’s (OOS) stats are: ACT 35 (36 each in Math & Science), 3.72/4.12 W/UW GPA, 8AP’s / 2 college level courses, applied to Engg/CS. Just trying to find whether he will any merit money.
I sent you a message.
