S19’s portal showed financial aid tab this morning. He received the Trustee’s Scholarship of $17,000.
How soon after acceptance do merit awards appear? @mountainmomof3 Congrats to your S19! That’s amazing!
Do you mind sharing his stats?
@opallady - he was accepted 11/21 and merit appeared this morning.
Mechanical Engineering/Honors
ACT/SAT: 36/1570
GPA: 3.98/4.3
Course rigor/significant leadership/heavy EC’s
@mountainmomof3 Wow! Congrats to him!
OOS daughter accepted to Honors program. Got Presidential Scholarship in the mail yesterday, $14k/year : )
My d was accepted 11/2 and still no merit listed on portal or via mail.
Just to share if not reading both threads. My son applied 11/2, was accepted 12/7, got his merit award today, $17k annual.
We finally received merit award in today’s mail!!!
@Sparcky - What are your sons stats for the 17k? In state or OOS? What major?
@MomMartha Chem major. OOS. SAT 1560, Chem subject test 720, Math2 730, GPA ~95UW at very competitive magnet STEM. Strong leadership, job x3yrs. Etc. (Also my #1 is a UD junior who is doing very well, not sure if that factors in.)
Accepted 11/2 still no merit or fin aid info…frustrating
@Shavonneb - My d was accepted 11/2 as well and did finally receive her fin package on 12/24 however, when I called mid December to inquire they told me it would be by end of January. Hopefully you will hear soon.
@Shavonneb have you used their net price calculator? When I did it it came up as $0 merit or grant. I played around with it and a 1270 sat with my Ds gpa of 3.83 would have gotten merit and grant. I am not expecting any. Her sat was 1240. D received acceptance 12/7. I occasionally check for merit even though I know I probably will never see it.
Dd received $17,000 and is in the honors program. SAT 1470/ACT 34,.
