<p>Does someone really know when merit scholarships come out? This week? Next week? Has anyone called UMD? I’m really anxious :S but hopeful! :D</p>

82

<p>I feel for you all. I just found my daughter’s President’s Scholarship letter from last year and it was dated February 27th. Clearly they’re about a month behind from where they were last year. Hang in there everyone and best of luck!!!</p>

83

<p>Dont mean to bring people down but it really has decreased my enthusiasm or UMD. </p>

84

<p>I still think that scholarships are going to come out with the financial aid package which probably are going to come out next week. I’m really anxious! </p>

85

<p>just a reminder for the oos student: we’ve had a lot of snow events this winter, and the school has been closed a half dozen times. If those closings fell on days when FA was supposed to meet, you can imagine how that has thrown things out of whack compared to last year. Finally, a reminder: last year was an anomaly and this year we’re back to the normal release date. Come a fortnight, we’ll have forgotten all about these days of dread.</p>

86

<p>We will probably find out before April, fingers crossed. That’s when most colleges finish sending out all their information to students. If this is the case, then we have one more week to be strong! Hang in there guys!</p>

87

<p>Just got the letter about presidential scholarship in mail today and it is available online as well. 12k :-* </p>

88

<p>oh great!:slight_smile: where online?</p>

89

<p><a href=“http://www.financialaid.umd.edu/”>http://www.financialaid.umd.edu/&lt;/a&gt;
then go to check financial aid and sign in. after that on the left side bar you will have an option that says Award</p>

<p>Daughter just got Presidential for 5k so that unfortunately rules out UMD for us considering we’re out of state with 2 kids in college and she has a few other good options that are more in our budget (UNC, NC State, USC, Clemson)</p>

91

<p>Coleman…same here…moving on</p>

92

<p>I can’t log on… even though I have been using my Directory ID </p>

93

<p>Haven’t got a letter yet, but I found that I received a $8k presidential scholarship through the portal.</p>

94

<p>dsmith or anyone, Can you tell me where on the portal to find the award? </p>

95

<p>are there gonna be multiple waves?</p>

96

<p>Does it say “We are in the process of reviewing your file…” for anyone else? Does this mean I did not get a presidential scholarship?</p>

<p>Edit: Never mind, I didn’t realize that you have to click on “My Awards”</p>

97

<p>@tspell</p>

<p>Go here, and select Fall 2014/Spring 2015.</p>

<p><a href=“https://www.sis.umd.edu/fastat/”>https://www.sis.umd.edu/fastat/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Then, you’ll need to set up a university directory login if you haven’t already (not the same as the admissions portal log-in).</p>

<p>Once you log-in, click the “My Awards” tab on the left and click on Accept/Decline Awards.</p>

98

<p>dsmith, appreciate the quick response. I did try this earlier after I spoke to fin. aid and admissions office. All I see is “An award package has not yet been created for you.” Daughter’s accepted to Honors, so I’m hopeful she’ll receive something. Best of Luck to you</p>

99

<p>“An award package has not yet been created for you.”</p>

<p>and my current status says…
“We are in the process of reviewing your file. Your financial aid will be evaluated and determined upon completion of review of your file.”</p>

<p>Hopefully this isn’t a bad sign.</p>

<p>How do I set up my directory ID? It “can’t find a match” when I enter my SSN/DoB/Last name… </p>
