I received my merit in the mail about 1-2 weeks after being accepted. I received the Presidential Scholarship for $15,000 a year. OOS, GPA 3.8, SAT 1410.
@Brucella018 if you go to udel website and go to financing your degree link and you plug in her numbers it will give the expected amount.
That said my daughter had 35act, 4.0uw; 4.46w.
Not to make you feel more regret but my d got a 32 Act and then took it again in September and got the 35…
@burghdad Thanks! I know it was a mistep and did that with very little prep. We have a small high school and a 32 was viewed a spetacular, but we should have thought broader. I won’t make that mistake with my son lol!
My daughters mistake was not taking sat subject tests and not taking enough AP classes in junior year. I think both of those had a lot to do with rejections from uva and unc and the expected rejections at brown Princeton and Vandy.
I am going to be much more involved with D21 class selection and test taking…
@burghdad Ahh, I feel you!
my son also received the $15K. he had a 32 ACT , 4.2 weighted. did not take IB or AP Classes offered… but we come from one of the best HS in NJ, so their next level classes down are still challenging. He is my last kid. I agree that letting them be happy with their score is great. these kids are pushed so much. no need to worry so much. I have kids who have gotten into UVA/UNC etc…, with not much higher ACT. and did not take any SAT Subject tests - they seem pretty useless, so few schools require them. so dont beat your self up about not making kids do too much testing.
@VAMom23, where did you find the notice of the additional $7k? I want to make sure that a student isn’t accidentally missing an additional notification.
@ShenValleyMom He received one notification in the mail when he was accepted, and later discovered additional award online. Both were merit based. It was posted a few weeks after the initial notification.
My son just got a letter in the mail $6k OOS. A lot less than other OOS schools so far - he got $10K from UMass Amherst and $17K from UVM. $2K from instate safety but COA is much cheaper there. FA will have to make up for the difference so we will see.
oops I just posted an update on the wrong thread. I posted above that my son’s merit scholarship was only $6K. Turns out that was per semester. $12K per year! Just got t the FA package in the mail. Better all around than UMass but a bit less than UVM. Whew.
DD did not receive merit, yet Net Price Calc does estimate an amount she should receive. Does anyone know if there is an appeal process we should be following instead of calling/emailing? TIA!
Hi! I’m an international student who got admitted to UD with a full tuition scholarship every year for my four-year undergraduate study. I was also accepted into the Honors Program. The problem is, even with the scholarship, the costs are still to much. If I enroll this year, are there any scholarships I will be eligible for as a student there?
They are already giving you full tuition so no, they’re not going to give you anything more.
Hi does anyone know if UDel gives extra merit aid if you are accepted and enroll in honors college?
@oreomollykona they do! I believe its on their website, its also diff amounts for OOS vs in state
My daughter was accepted earlier this month. This now appears on her account:
“Financial Aid Information Available View your Financial Aid Award Notice.”
But clicking on it shows:
“Financial aid award notices are currently unavailable as we update tuition/fee rates for the upcoming academic year. Award information will be available again on UDSIS and My Finances around mid-July. At that time, fall billing information will also be available on My Finances”
Does anyone have actual awards shown here? Or does everyone have the same notice for now?
^^^ follow-up: The financial info and award now appear! 
@vamom4 , cool! You could see your financial info already? That’s encouraging!!
Yeah, my financial aid has been posted since last thurs too!
@Admitted2UDyayy is your merit still on the portal? Ours is now gone. I called and girl told me it was a mistake. Was not supposed to be posted until mid feb. she sounded like a student so I am not so sure how accurate her information was. Strange…
