Our OOS daughter received her UD Honors College acceptance letter almost three weeks after her admission to the University through the portal. Like her admission, the UD portal sent out an email to check for the Honors College. We are waiting for her merit scholarship award - it sounds like this notification will arrive after the new year. Good luck!!

Congrats! How did you receive the merit package? Via portal or mail?
Oh, I just checked my sonâs portal and the merit award was there for us as well! Same as yours, $15K per year Presidential Scholarship. He was admitted on Nov. 23, to Communications, 3.86 UW, 4.56 W, OOS, 18 (AP and Honors combined), great ECs, essays and LORs. Yay! Sill waiting on honors - fingers crossed.

10,000 yr. Probably not enough to entice since OOS already so high
My student got $9k/year for 4 years. NMSF. Really odd to me, but okay. Just received a full tuition scholarship from an EA college so UD is falling behind. Too bad.

In state or OOS? If in state, very generous, if OOS, gpa/final test scores (I think before Covid, test scores counted most of all.

My son received the Destination Delaware plus the Provost Awards â total of $10k + $3k per year. He is out of state. 1540 SAT plus 4.13 GPA. Iâm curious if any other students received two different awards. It seemed odd. I assume he met the criteria for the $10k but for some reason did not meet it for the presidential or trustee (because they could have given $13k per year as presidential per their charts). Makes me wonder what the criteria for presidential is. The calculator indicated $10k/year, so this amount is a bit higher.
