<p>I didn’t THINK Cox required an interview either (not sure-it’s not something me D was interested in) but I’m pretty sure Presidential doesn’t. I believe both announce in February.</p>
<p>Yes, Lance…D got a “surprise” from her “college” too (direct admit with $), but not her department. Good job!</p>
<p>FYI re: earlier post from jax90291… Hutton schollys have started being awarded! WOOT!</p>

<p>Am I quoting you right? Is there any drawback for the Cox Research Scholarship which is a full ride award. Of course, it requires 10 hours/week for doing research with a professor. Wouldn’t it be an excellent REU? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Oh no Ace, make no mistake -I’m sure Cox is a GREAT opportunity!!! It’s just that it wasn’t the first choice for my daughter for a few reasons. BUT…if it was the type of scholarship my daughter got, I’m sure she’d happily accept it. However, while she has no interest in research,she does have a huge interest in 2-3 very time consuming extra curricular activities (or even extra classes for a minor)-and you probably noticed that athletes can’t be Cox Scholars, I’m sure due to time constraints (she also has an interest in one club sport on top of those other things!). So that required 8-10 hours a week might well have been a deal breaker for her because she is a student who needs the time to really WORK for good grades. If she gets all the scholarships for which we have our collective fingers crossed, she’ll have more than a full ride anyway, but without those 10 hours a week. I’m sure it would be great to have on her record for grad school admittance, but…she intends to serve/participate at IU in other ways. On top of which, with 40 students, it’s obviously highly selective and I think she’d be outside that “cut”. So it’s nothing she really considered/looked into/expected. I know some Wells Scholars, but I don’t personally know anyone who is a Cox Scholar, so I can’t speak intelligently about the program. But…if that’s something YOU are interested it - GREAT…I’m sure it’s a wonderful program/opportunity and I hope you get it!</p>
<p>R124687,</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing the considerations. Indeed, there are many other scholarship opportunities for IU students. I have been nagging about the stagnant housing price in Indiana. Afterall, Indiana has something parents can be very thankful about. Best luck to your daughter!</p>
Is distinction scholarship a part of Dean’s Scholarship or? How do you get it?
This thread is 5 years old. I think the scholarship names have changed, and all of the automatic out-of-state scholarships now fall under the Dean’s Scholarship.
