Scholarship and Financial Aid Package Class 2024

I don’t know whether to post this year but it deals with money so maybe. Has anyone’s undergraduate acceptance fee disappeared? I don’t know if maybe I’m hallucinating but I could’ve sworn there was one before but now there’s none. Is it just me?

Always remember that some OOS students get National Buckeye and some don’t. The same thing for Trustee/Provost/Maximus. For OOS applicants who come from OOS high schools that have multiple applicants per year to OSU, OSU will sometimes compare applicants from the same OOS high school graduating class and offer National Buckeye to some but not all of the applicant group. If the braniacs in the OOS graduating class are all applying to OSU, it makes getting National Buckeye harder for those underneath them who might otherwise qualify.

My son is OOS, 32 ACT, 4.2 weighted GPA, and just outside top 10 percent. Admitted undergrad business a few months ago, admitted to honors program a few days ago. Have heard nothing on Buckeye scholarship. Is that unusual, and what does anyone think chances are.

@bruinsfan4 - still waiting as well, 3.5/4.3 - top 5% - business - honors - i dont think they’ve sent them out yet

35 ACT

My son was notified that he was placed in the Honors and Scholars living learning community. Haven’t heard about merit yet. Accepted a month ago. Should we be concerned?

when did you hear abour honors?

Merit package came today! D20 OOS was admitted in November.

Good luck to all!

@ChiMom191 Awesome! Congratulations to your daughter!

Do the merit packages get sent too all students at once? Do you see them in Buckeye link or US Mail first?

DD from TX has similar stats to @ChiMom191 and we have not received any info.

Will you be told you did not receive a merit award?

I don’t think so. They dribble them out was the sense I got when I called them last week

@DG - Thank you. That is what I thought.

No. Last year, D19 got nothing.

OOS merit going out. Got provost and national Buckeye in the mail today. Best of luck and go bucks.

What is the $ amount for Provost?

2000 per. National Buckeye 13500 per

Merit scholarship award notice came out in today via snail mail. Son received Buckeye & Maximus.

Osu seems to give impressive OOS merit money relative to other large publics
