<p>GT…I am assuming that includes departmental scholarship?</p>
<p>I’m really disappointed. Only 2k/year. Not that I was really expecting much, but this has pretty much crushed all hope of coming to UMD which is a shame because I’ve really fallen in love with the school. But with that little merit aid and what I’ve read here about need based, I’m pretty positive I won’t be able to afford it.</p>
<p>Yeah. When I called they said they still have to send out some B/Ks (probably very few), President’s, Dean’s, NMF stuff, and departmental scholarships. Also, the only people I know who have gotten departmental scholarships so far were from Engineering…but then again that’s probably the school with the most departmental scholarships.</p>
<p>Still waiting for my president’s scholarship that is “in the mail”…it could have gotten to China by now. Almost at the point of giving up.</p>
<p>He got that on Monday and also got into Gemstone. We are OOS.</p>
<p>@33dmjjm–how did you find out that you got president’s? I called UMD and they said they wouldn’t disclose any scholarship info over the phone.</p>
<p>I called the undergraduate admissions office and talked to some guy who put me on hold and then he told me that I received the Presidents scholarship but would not tell me how much. I offered to give him my SS# so he would tell the amount but he said he could not and I would get a letter in the mail. Told me letter was sent Feb 23…now it is March 5th and still no letter. I have a feeling he never even checked…</p>
<p>Can you get more than one scholarship?</p>
<p>Just found out that I did get the President’s scholarship for $12,000…still no letter but an admission counselor emailed me and confirmed it. Cant even begin to tell you how excited I am.</p>
<p>If you have not heard dont lose hope…it may be “lost in the mail”</p>
<p>33dmjjm - wow, congrats. Can you let us know your SATs? $12K was what we had hoped for (we got 5K)</p>
<p>congrats!!!</p>
<p>SAT 2200, ACT 34, GPA 4.25, varsity sports, good EC and community service but not great.</p>
<p>Congratulations!! Is that 12k total or 12k for 4 years (48k)? I’m wondering since i didn’t think they gave that much per year. Either way, great news!</p>
<p>Congrats 33dmjjm!! Good to know that there’s still a lot of scholarships being sent out.</p>
<p>Disappointed with $5k/year for 4 years 
had 2200 SAT with 4.6 GPA and LOADS of extracurriculars and community service… looks like I won’t be able to go to Maryland unless I get the music scholarship I am waiting to hear back about</p>
<p>Samwisewatrs - my daughter was same - 220 SATs, 4.6 GPA, National Merit finalist, unbelievable extra-curricular. Also received $5K OOS. Very strange when others get $12K.</p>
<p>Maryland was her first choice but this is not close to the packages she got from other schools</p>
<p>Still wondering if the 12k is per year. Otherwise it would be 3k which seems more in line.</p>
<p>This is what the email said from my admissions counselor, still have not received official letter.</p>
<p>Congratulationsyouve been awarded the Presidents Scholarship in the amount of $12,000 per year for four years</p>
<p>That’s wonderful!!! Hopefully that’ll get you here.</p>
<p>Why have I not received any type of scholarships yet?</p>
