@BB1945 what links did you click on to see the scholarship information? Like the amount awarded. I have the alert but I haven’t been able to figure out how to see the amount
Mdhsgirl10. I clicked on the to do list in the alert. That brought me to a screen with a list of things to do on the left hand side. Under financial aids and scholars ships it had merit scholarship agreement with a link. I clicked on it and the agreement came up. I could not see the agreement on my iPad though. Had to access it from my home computer. Good luck!!
Merit scholarship came in snail mail today. Live in northeastern part of Maryland.
Congrats @Marylandfour, i am glad so many of you guys are getting scholarships, I haven’t gotten mine and I believe I am not getting any cause on my account there is no “alert” or anything
@BB1945 My D got her letter! Also Premier award, out of state $22K/year. Since OS tuition is $22k+ I think (the website estimates 22688), the award is slightly less than full tuition. She’s happy! Now we just have to go see if she likes it there.
Congrats to everyone who got merit!
@scholarme CONGRATS!! That is fantastic! I’m so glad to see that they give the OOS scholarships at a higher compensation! For my S we will basically have to pay for the “board” part which is totally doable. This is going to be a hard choice for him. He is competing also for full tuition scholarships at other schools so we have to weigh everything out. He is blessed to be able to have choices I know! Yes we totally need to go visit. My concern with UMBC is that I hear they don’t give you any credit for these slew of AP classes and exams he has taken. We have to weigh all of these situations! Yes and congrats to everyone who got merit!
The plot thickens! My friend received a scholarship package, but she never got an alert! Her unweighted GPA and SAT score is lower than mine.
Oh !! Nothing in the mail today Writerjordan? Are you OOS? We got ours today but really we live in the next county so if your farther… Crossed fingers for you!
@scholarme - Congrats!
D received her letter too - the University Scholar Award according to the ltr.
OMG really @writerjordan, i never got the alert and hope I get scholarship. I live in Clarksburg, MD which is in moco county, like 45 miles away so I hope I get something tomorrow. Also those who got your scholarships today, do you guys live like close to the campus or pretty far?
We are a few miles south of you. Also in MoCo.
Wow really FromMD, well congrats to your daughter for getting merit scholarship 
Sorry new here. Got scholarship information today(President’s Scholar Award). Unweighted GPA of 3.17, SAT Score: 2080. I think they should be sending information to others sometime soon, if not today, but I’m not entirely certain.
@ravensrock5696 Yes!!! Verified with a bunch of people. You don’t have to get an alert to get a scholarship (: The best news ever, to be honest. Also, not all of the scholarships they hand out are listed on their website.
I haven’t had a chance to read the letter yet (D has it) but does anyone know if the merit scholarship amounts stay the same each year even if tuition rates increase?
@scholarme - I’m pretty sure it stays the same.
@writerjordan, YES!!! Lol that just made my day
It made mine too! I was pretty upset.
Guys I’m so sorry I started the whole Alert thing the other night. So glad to hear there is hope for a few more lucky people!! Good luck to those who don’t know yet!!
No need to be sorry @BB1945, u didn’t start any alert thing lol maybe our accounts are just different or slow to update.
