Questions about Selective Scholarship Application (SSA)

Honors college invitation email, appears to be separate from SSA invite.

Didn’t proceed with the SSA app.

D showed me the SSA scholarship application questions and we both saw it appeared to be need based, with an essay asking why she needs the $. Since we are not need based, I am questioning her even bothering filling out the app. Is that what you took from reading it? TIA

Exact same takeaway and don’t bother.

Interesting, don’t recall SSA questions being need-focused last year. A lot of the funding that is through the SSA isn’t even need based. I don’t see the hurt in applying, it may be turn out to be the best $/hour work you’ll do

Does anyone know how competitive the Hudson and Holland scholarship is? My child has a weighted GPA of 4.7+ and SAT of 1380. He is mixed race- Caucasian and Native American (enrolled member of tribe). He’s a junior.

A lot of people get it with stats like that. I think you have a good chance

Anyone get a SSA offering? It’s February 11 and still haven’t gotten anything. Getting kinda worried as it’s almost halfway through February and no word

Do you mean to fill out the SSA or a scholarship from it? I just received an invite a couple hours ago to interview for a full-ride, and I filled out the SSA and submitted it January 15th ish.

I already filled it out and turned it in January 23rd, but just haven’t gotten a word about it if I got money. I was wondering if other people got the scholarship and I didn’t get it or it didn’t come out yet.

I don’t think any of the honors scholarships are out yet, so I wouldn’t worry.

When will I hear back about scholarships. I received a deans scholarship back in December and I filled out the general scholarship application mid January. will there be another round of scholarships?

They haven’t came out with the honors scholarships yet to my knowledge! Did you get an invite for the SSA? If you were selected for that then you likely have a shot for the honors scholarships. I’m sure there are others awarded, but they either have stricter criteria or are extremely selective.

Anyone get any hearings from the honors SSA scholarship yet?

I have not heard anything yet. But we should get an email saying if we did not get an honors scholarship.

It looks like SSA results are coming in — D22 received $1,500 Dean’s Academic Merit Scholarship + $1,500 Luddy Direct Admit Scholarship!

Congrats! May I ask where you found the awards-portal, email?

She hasn’t gotten any emails, I went to her IU portal/dashboard (same portal where the admissions decision can be found and any financial aid information. The scholarships are listed under financial aid). Go to https://iuself.iu.edu/ and log in, go to Student Center, then in the sidebar click Financials, then Accept/Decline Awards.
