<p>I got an email saying that I was accepted into IU and that my admissions packet should come in the next 2 weeks. I think im eligible for a university scholarship and was wondering if the university tells you if you receive any scholarship money with your acceptance letter. </p>

<p>Also can anyone tell me about how much they would expect me to get scholarship wise? Here are my stats...</p>

<p>OOS
Legacy
3.45 uw Gpa
27 ACT
over 40 community college credits with a 3.3 gpa and membership in Phi Theta Kappa</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>A friend of my son's received his scholarship information in the same packet as his acceptance.</p>

<p>It was $1,000 a year for 4 years. Your grades are much better (his was around 3.25) so maybe you will get more.</p>

<p>How long did it take to get your acceptance after you submitted your application?</p>

<p>i also would like to know how long it took u to get yoru acceptance</p>

<p>My acceptance letter came about two weeks after the online acceptance. </p>

<p>I am oos
28 ACT
3.6 uw and 4.1w gpa</p>

<p>My scholarship is $3750 per year for four years.</p>

<p>mine took about a week after they had recieved my high school counselor report and transcripts.</p>

<p>My kid got into Indiana today so I can stop asking the question how long does it take....? :)</p>

<p>Congrats to your S., dstark! I'm assuming he found out online? Last year, they sent out a big envelope that had "You're In!" splashed on the front. That's also where you'll find the scholarship letter. Hope they show you the money!</p>

<p>Thanks, GoBlueAlumMom. Yes. He found out online.</p>

<p>Remember that if you do well your first semester at school that you can fax your grades to Indiana for scholarship reconsideration. A few people I know did that and got it increased.</p>

<p>Just got my letter today...$3750/year. </p>

<p>My GPA is a 3.45 right now but it should go up to a 3.53ish by the end of the semester. Do you think I could get more scholarship money by increasing my gpa by that much?</p>

11

<p>You could get more, no harm in trying.</p>

12

<p>I should also have enough transfer credits to graduate in 2 - 2 1/2 years. is there anyway to negotiate with the university to get the 15k over 2 years rather than over 4?</p>

13

<p>Probably not, talk to them about it.</p>

<p>Why the heck would you only want to graduate in 2 years? College is the best part of your life. Look at threads in the parents forum, one said that their biggest mistake was only being in college for 4 years.</p>

<p>I'm not 100% sure...I might get a double or maybe a triple major and I know I am most likely going to grad school. Just a thought though...</p>
