Does anyone have any idea about when merit scholarship award notifications will be going out? I saw something about next year?
From UDâs âFinancing Your Degreeâ page:
The University of Delaware notifies students of merit scholarships starting by the end of December, and those admitted after that date should expect to hear approximately two to three weeks after their admission decision is released. For out-of-state students who have completed the FAFSA, full financial awards, including eligibility for need-based grants and loans, will be available around this time as well. In-state students who have completed the FAFSA will receive full financial aid eligibility information in late January/early February. Once finalized, merit scholarship letters and award notices are mailed to students and are available on their My Blue Hen Home portals as well.

Application submitted 10/8, application considered COMPLETE 10/25 still waiting to hear. I will encourage my student to reach out to admission counselor to see when decisions might be forthcoming as it seems many October applicants are hearing from College of A&S in the Dept of Mathematical Sciences.
GPA is confusing because the school doesnât do letter grades, only percentages, so they donât calculate a typical 4.0 type GPA. GPA was calculated at 100% if that helps. Applied test optional.
I saw that upthread and almost replied to you earlier. It seems like such a neat major! Is your daughter likely to choose Delaware? It is one of my daughterâs top choices, assuming she gets merit.
I usually donât respond to forum but had to. Food Science is very neat major. My daughter is not interested in the major but I work in the snacks, meals and beverage industry. Itâs a great niche major and plenty of career paths to take.
On another note, my DD was accepted to Delaware and we are sitting in the hotel waiting for admit tour to start!! We stayed overnight nearby and had the Friday night experience. DD loved the âdowntownâ stripe. Great choices for dinner and ice cream. We donât love that the gorgeous Health Science - DDâs major- building are so far away from the main campus.
Good luck with your college journey! Acceptance is definitely unpredictable this year.

My daughter graduated with an exercise science degree, getting there was no issue, and she didnât have a car until her last year. She also never took the shuttle, I suspect she got rides with others?

Really? My daughter is accepted to the health sciences school but we decided not to come for the visit today because we are far away and want to wait and see about merit first. so how far away exactly is it?
Itâs across from the football stadium, about a mile from trabant. Itâs really not an issue.

I donât know. Money definitely matters so weâre waiting on merit. I like the idea of UDel b/c it is a good location for us compared to her other schools which are so far away.
