@collegegagal That’s what I was told by one officer, but when I called around 5pm again, someone else told me that they weren’t sure when they would be released. I would just wait around as I don’t think that they know exactly when and what time they are releasing this information. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused but honestly I am just as confused as everyone else. But like @Melissa96 said, I am pretty sure they will still be released this week though 
@collegegagal - I think there has been a lot of confusion in the messages from admissions. I imagine the merit information will be released soon. @holr0823 thanks for keeping us updated! Hopefully everyone will get some good news soon! ?
@holr0823 - Definitely this week, they were nearly done checking everything so the potential was correct and perhaps the person on the phone was feeling optimistic.
I don’t know if anyone knows the answer to this but… Are the merit scholarships stackable with Bright Futures and Benequisto?
@momofdom this is addressed in the Scholarship FAQ’s (see #8):
I just called the admissions office and they still have not notified the scholarship recipients. She said by the end of the this week they will have released the information.
I do know for OOS being a national merit finalist helps, and may be a must. My OOS daughter had super high test scores and GPA but didn’t make National merit semifinalist, so wasn’t offered anything more than the $2000 honors stipend. Another girl we know from our state received in state tuition because she was a national merit finalist, so I think that is really probably a difference maker. Thankfully UF offers instate tuition to kids using the post 911 GI bill so if your child is using that your golden! Without it we couldn’t afford to send her to UF.
Scholarship is posted now for my S19 so I assume they should all be up. Good luck to everyone waiting!
Did they post Presidential scholarship offers?
@minniemouse143 - my S19’s is a Gator Nation award (and this won’t stack with OOS Benacquisto)
@mountainmomof3 Congratulations!!
@minniemouse143 - thank you!
My son just checked and didn’t see any award. Hope he receives some sort of Merit since he received $9600 from FSU and declined their acceptance yesterday so that a wait listed student can get in.
@flmomoffive we are hoping and praying too…son got the fsu scholarship too, ucf provost, and georgia tech provost…heard UF is super stingy with merit…
anyone in state heard yet today?
@Melissa96 has all of the scholarship information been released or are they still being sent out?
We are in state and there is a scholarship offer showing in his account as of today. It’s the $2K Admissions Honors Scholarship, not one of the bigger awards.
@holr0823 All of the merit scholarships are out now. Email and on application status.
I just called admissions. They said that barely any of the scholarships have been sent out. The only one that has been sent out is the honors one for 2,000. I think some people on here might be confused because I spoke to 2 seperate people in the office. They will come out some time this week.
@collegegagal - S19’s is not an honors scholarship but a Gator Nation award. He didn’t apply to honors.
@Melissa96 That’s strange because I’m in the honors but no $2,000 shows on my account or in my email.
