<p>did UMD send out merit scholarships along with the acceptance letters, or do they come later on in the year? im talking about the few scholarships they list on their site besides like banneker/key</p>
<p>I think that they mail them out in March-April.</p>
<p>Merit Scholarship Notification
Admission decision letters are mailed in mid February and merit scholarship award notifications begin in early March and continue through early April. Scholarship recipients will be notified by mail. For some scholarships, a student will be invited to campus for an interview before receiving notice of an award.</p>
<p>The Banneker/Key Finalists were notified the last week of February (see the associated threads here on CC). The interviews for them are being held on campus---3 different dates...March 9, March 16, and March ??. After that date, I believe the other scholarships will be awarded. Good luck!</p>
