<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I was accepted a little over a month ago and I have not received any information regarding any scholarships.</p>
<p>Does stuff like that not get sent out till later like most schools? I heard from MSU already and was curious how Cincy does it.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey. I just heard back today from UC, but it wasn’t about the Cincinnatus Scholarship which is what I’ve been waiting to hear about. It was about some other scholarship (roughly the same $ though.)</p>
<p>How did you hear? Letter, email, etc.?</p>
<p>As of now, I have heard back about 2 scholarships, both by email.</p>
<p>One is a legacy scholarship, the other a diversity one. The impression I got is that they do NOT send out scholarship notifications at the same time, but that it probably varies a few days by scholarship type.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I went on a visit to the College of Allied Health Sciences after I got my acceptance letter. At that point, I hadn’t received any information about scholarships, so we asked someone from the college about them. She told me that the notifications for scholarships come after you fill out the FAFSA. </p>
<p>So far, after filling out the FAFSA, I’ve only received a notification about a diversity (Darwin T. Turner, but you have to apply separately for it) scholarship by email. I did see this on the Cincinnatus Scholarship page, though: “Details will be sent to Cincinnatus-qualifying students in early February. Cincinnatus awards will be made in mid-March.”</p>
<p>Asked to apply for two, but no word about Cincinnatus yet. Impatient DH called as it is “early Feb” and was told that letters/emails have not gone out yet and will go “later this month”. They must be swamped this year.</p>
<p>Just got a reply for Cincinnatus.</p>
<p>Could you please explain what the reply was?
Thanks.</p>
<p>D received an e-mail from admissions about Cincinnatus today. It says congratulations, she is eligible, etc.,but that final awards will be made in March. Apparently the award levels vary a lot. This was not a notification for a specific $ amount. We figured she would be eligible for a sizable award because of being NMSF and good stats, but this is the first we’ve heard from them about it.</p>
<p>That’s interesting your email didn’t say Century, University or Founders? D received her email today and it said which one it was and explained the out-of-state bump. We didn’t do the FAFSA, so maybe that is why. The more she hears about Ono, she is very much leaning toward being a Bearcat!</p>
<p>In prior years, certain students were invited to compete for cincinnatus scholarship amounts at UC. Does anyone know if that is no longer the process or if the format had changed recently?</p>
<p>momofdesignkid, my daughter graduated in 2011 and had a Cincinnatus Scholarship. There was on on campus form of competition, but it was bizarre. No one understood why and how the top people got what they got. The didn’t seem to be any rhyme or meaning to it. I hope they finally eliminated the competition in place of targeting the students that they really want.</p>
<p>I’m so glad to see you on here TaxGuy! I read all of your posts a couple of years ago when I joined while my S was going through the process. When my D set us straight that she was not going the engineering route, but for sure architecture I remembered all the awesome points you made about UC. We honestly would not have visited if it weren’t for all of your feedback on DAAP. You should be getting a cut! Thanks for that!</p>
<p>I see. E-mail does say ‘University,’ didn’t realize that is a particular scholarship name. No info about OOS amt in e-mail though. It’s kind of moot, since D got into a music program at the school she most wants to attend and cancelled Cincinnati audition over a week ago. I think music admissions and the scholarship people don’t work together. Already earlier she received an invite to honors day and was trying to coordinate that with her audition. Prof got on phone with people in admissions because the honors day is only for admitted students while CCM doesn’t admit you to university at all until you pass audition, so this wasn’t according to protocol. He said admissions would contact us to cancel the honors invite and apologize for the confusion, but of course they never did, because they probably wanted her to come for it anyway. If my D was going to attend Cincinnati this scholarship would bump up automatically to the NMF ‘Excellence’ one when she notifies NMSC of first choice school. It seems some schools work that way, give a smaller award first.</p>
<p>going into 4th year of BS Arch program, honors, NMF</p>
<p>I’m not entirely sure if they’ve kept the competition aspect of the Cincinnatus or not, but you’ve probably figured that out by now. When I applied, some students received Cincinnatus scholarships outright while others were given the option to compete for more money, so the fact that some received scholarships without competition invitations does not mean they’ve eliminated the competition.</p>
<p>The competition was bizarre. However, I don’t think they were completely nuts. I know quite a few of the competition winners and all fit a very clear profile. While I’m not necessarily the biggest fans of all of them, they’re probably the future leaders of the university. All have very confident, straightforward, demanding personalities. Picture the future business-people, CEO types. They know what they want and they can rally the troops. They can charm any audience, and are quite bright.</p>
<p>The competition used to be comprised of a writing portion and a team-building activity (making a banner or something) which was closely watched. I’m guessing the decisions are based largely off of the team exercise.</p>
