Trustees/National Buckeye Scholarships

I’m under the impression that osu is sending out the scholarships in pairs, starting with the more selective one first. But has anyone who qualifies for the Trustees and Nat’l buckeye heard word yet? I’m hoping for these two (3.62 gpa UW and 1280 math/reading sat). Also, if you meet the merit criteria do you automatically receive them?

@kperunovich–you may want to follow this thread on the topic of National Buckeye Scholarship and other OOS merit awards. People are posting about daily:

Yes you are right. A lot of people have posted on this site that they have already received OOS OSU merit scholarships. Also, last Friday, I spoke with my son’s Admissions counselor and she said that just because my son meets the criteria to be considered for these OOS merit scholarships (3.7 GPA and 1320 CR/M) does NOT mean that he will actually get a scholarship. She said that of those students that meet the criteria, Admissions then awards scholarships competitively “until the money is gone.” I guess that seems fair. We are hoping HARD here though. Good luck to you.

Just received the national buckeye and trustees scholarship in the mail! Good luck to everyone awaiting scholarships!

@kpernuovich–that’s great news!! I hope you like OSU. Your student’s (or your?) stats (GPA and SAT) look similar to my son’s and so, I hope he will get a merit scholarship too. The $ would really help. Enjoy The OSU. I’m from a huge family of alums and am pretty familiar with it. Go Bucks!

Does any one know if regular decision applicants could still get the scholarship

Regular decision applicants can still get the scholarship, but priority consideration would be given to those who applied Early Action.

The wait is killing me!!!
