<p>Hi All,</p>
<pre><code>I was just curious how much this business honors merit scholarship that UIUC speaks of is actually paying for? is it full tuition? partial?.. like how much?

<p>There are two honors programs. One is business honors for which there will be about 125 finalists and then offers to be in honors program are made to about 75 with the expectation of getting about 40 to enroll. That one has scholarship money attached to it and in the past it has been in the $4,000 to $5000 in state, $8,000 to 9,000 out of state, range per year. There is also the James Scholars which is designed to capture about the top 12% to 15% freshman per year, has no scholarship attached to it and scholarship money they might get, if any, is awarded by the college based on file review including grades and test scores and fact of being a James Scholar is not a criteria.</p>
<p>drusba - Are the business honors finalists notified? If so, do you know when that usually happens?</p>
<p>Those invited for to do the interview for finalists will be notified in two waves, likely early Jan (or even sooner) for Dec 14 admittees and then latter part of Feb for Feb admittees and possibly others from Dec 14 group.</p>
