Has anyone gotten information on Merit scholarships?
Where do I look for the application completion day? I’m waiting to hear on my daughter’s acceptance. Thanks.
@UMFD359 it is at the top of TUPortal
Daughter was accepted today!! Has anybody heard anything about merit scholarships? How/when they are communicated?
@MominPA2017 what were her stats and major? I think merit scholarships are communicated through the acceptance packet
@2019earlygrad thanks
35 ACT
4.27 WGPA
2 APs in 10th
3 APs in 11th
4 APs this year
Major - College of Liberal Arts, Undecided
Lots of community service both in and out of school and a handful of leadership positions.
Her school doesn’t have any Honors or AP classes in 9th grade (because it’s not in the HS) so our school’s WGPAs tend to be a bit lower than other HSs.
I called today and if you were given a merit scholarship it would have been included in the admissions letter.
@MominPA2017 no problem! also when did she apply?
I got accepted yesterday!!
Applied 10/29 - Accepted 11/8

@s9841210 - How you were able to change from RD to EA? is this via TU Portal ?
Do they typically accept stronger stats applicants first? My app was completed 10/10 for EA (3.96 W gpa 1170 SAT)

I received the Provost’s Scholarship, which pays for half of the tuition each year (10k).
I was wondering if I would receive a decision on the honors college with my acceptance letter or maybe a little later.
Also, what are the average stats for a student who receives the President’s Scholarship/ full tuition.
@valpak00per - I was awarded the full tuition scholarship and I had a 34 ACT and a 3.9 GPA.
