@rutgers98 DS got an email for honors but his portal has not been updated to reflect it yet. You want this portal https://studentaid.rutgers.edu/scholarship/
Everyone’s talking about honors programs and scholarships and I’m just waiting to hear about my decision haha
got into the honors college with a 22k scholarship!
Hey for those of you still waiting, I can tell you this, they have sent out NOT ADMITTED to some students. My son was not admitted to the School of Business, but we are still waiting to hear about CAS and SEBS. HIs application was in by October 16th and all follow up documents before November 1st. He has a GPA of 3.1, and SAT of 1780. Some AP Classes and Honors classes. Last year, my other son heard back within 2 weeks that he was admitted to all three schools at Rutgers he applied to including Engineering, but he declined for Cornell. It has been a very frustrating experience going through this with my current son since Rutgers is his first choice, but I guess they really, really, reward the kids with the highest SAT scores. We are currently looking at Ohio University (they came back with an admit decision in 1 week!) since it seems to have everything my son wants in a school, and it is a much safer college town for my peace of mind than New Brunswick. Also accepted at Michigan State but the out of state cost is just too much…
Still nothing in terms of Honors/Scholarships… Ugh
Keep checking in your portal for more scholarships. I checked again today and got the same Trustees Award for the Rutgers-Camden Honors College.
Honor college for pharmacy,SAS, engineering in Brunswick campus. Trustee award scholarship. SAT 2400, 1/380 top 10 NJ HS, strong EC. National AP scholar, NMS semi finalist,numerous award. Curios why not getting presidential scholarship?
Wow nothing yet on my application; guys can someone provide some insight if EOF applicants take longer to be responded to… Cuz im eligible for the program, but if it comes at the cost of my application im willing to withdraw
Do you have to click accept offer of admission to see the scholarship page? And does accepting mean you’re committing?
@RoselandWeighing i’m surprised you didn’t get presidential tbh
Guys do I have to send the fafsa for them to give me a reply?
Did anyone hear back for merit scholarship? I am an international student, so does that mean I won’t get any scholarship? I received the package thing already but there were no information about scholarships…
@angela98 same here!
do international students receive any scholarships? or is it only those who fill out a FAFSA?
I got the Trustee’s Scholarship for the School of Arts and Sciences and the Presidential Scholarship for the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. 2300 SAT, 102.4 weighted GPA (only up to jr. year), unique essay about political organizing. I’m from Long Island NY
Does anyone know if the Presidential Scholarship is a full ride for OOS students? The link in the online letter about the Pres Scholarhip says:
“The Presidential Scholarship is awarded for four years of undergraduate study for a total of $104,800. The annual amount of $26,200 includes an $12,000 annual room and board allowance.”
I read before on an older version of the website that it would be $26,200 with an annual $12,000 stipend for room and board for OOS students but honestly from what I quoted above, it’s not looking like a full ride
Did anyone’s scholarship(s) disappear? I checked my portal yesterday and Camden had given me $22K and Camden Engineering had given me $16K. I checked the portal again today and it no longer shows up?
@Chris817 I received a full scholarship.
Does anyone know how housing works for people in the SAS Honors Program? I am interested in dorming in McCormick Hall. Am I guaranteed McCormick or is there a chance I will be assigned another hall?
Is it possible to transfer scholarships within schools at Rutgers? Like if you get a scholarship from one school at Rutgers but decide you want to go to another Rutgers school, are there any scholarship options available?
@teenagecrime I was worry that my son’s essay could be problem. But luckily he got accepted in UVA.
@coffeenlucia Same thing happened to me! My Camden Trustees Award disappeared, but I think it was a mistake anyway because I didn’t apply to the Camden campus (only NB).
