Anybody heard back regarding their Honors College or academic scholarship application to UK? Or do you know when they will contact applicants or release more information? Thanks!
Heard nothing thus far. Last year with my son’s application the communication was great and timing of decisions excellent. This year my D21 has become so frustrated with the whole process as they just aren’t on top of their game.

My S21 received a Merit Weekend Invite. Per the Merit Weekend 2021 website:
“If you applied for Lewis Honors College, notifications will be sent by email beginning on February 15, and continuing through mid March. Attending Merit Weekend does not impact any decisions regarding the admission process for Lewis Honors College.”
"Academic Scholarship award notifications will begin going out on a rolling basis beginning on March 1.
Competitive Scholarship award notifications will begin going out on March 15.
William C. Parker Diversity Scholarships and Financial Aid package notifications will begin going out on April 1."

Thanks. Glad they are giving us dates.
Thanks for the update. Did he get the invite via email? I haven’t seen an invite and I’m not sure what Merit Weekend is. Not sure if that says anything about my chances for Honors College/scholarships.
My daughter also received the merit weekend invite. We are conflicted with paying the non refundable fee prior to receiving any information on scholarships or a complete financial aid package.

Yes - it was an email
D21 MW email was buried in her school email account. She has the uky.edu email set up, but the notification was not additionally sent there. A week ago I checked her BBN Orientation options in the student portal. The June and July virtual orientation dates were listed as well as a note for in person dates to be released Feb 15th. Today that BBN Orientation page had been changed to Merit Weekend March dates (virtual); in person dates offered in April to May to those that complete the virtual sessions.
Thanks. Before today I had not set up my linkblue account. I finally set it up and logged in this morning. I don’t think I have received an email invite, but I do have several virtual Merit Weekend options listed under BBN Orientation.
Edit: Can someone link to the Merit Weekend 2021 site? I can only find past years via Google search.
Honors College notifications begin going out today, from what someone shared above. If someone is willing to post when they receive a decision, that would be helpful. Thanks!

I did not get the email in my personal email account that I used to apply. However, I signed in and found the email in my UK linkblue email inbox.

Daughter received Merit Weekend invite in the mail today. She did not apply for Honors College but does qualify for the Patterson on paper. So strange since we haven’t heard anything about scholarships but I guess this is a good sign.
