Did you receive something physical in the mailbox for this? We got an email for it a couple of weeks ago, but haven’t seen any mail. Does this mean they are going to get a merit scholarship? Not fully sold on paying for this, when haven’t heard about scholarships yet.
My daughter got a notification email last week with her acceptance into Honors. Merit Weekend invite was also email. She has an interview for scholarships scheduled for Monday.
Congrats. Are you in state or oos?
oos
It was a physical mailing, postcard-sized. The mailing doesn’t say much, directs you to the site to register go.uky.edu/meritweekend. I did this with my oldest a few years ago and it is worth it. The opportunity to meet with advisors and get first dibs on class registration was definitely a perk. This is a virtual event. Costs $225

Congrats! But darn, was hoping that maybe they were just doing in state scholarships first and that we still had a chance.
Some things have come through linkblue email and others to DD’s personal email. She did receive the Merit Weekend email and had her scholarship interview yesterday. We are also oos. Have not heard about Honors College yet. And still waiting to see if she is accepted to the College of Heath Sciences. Based on a flyer she received HHS decisions to come out March 1. Has anyone received anything from HHS?

What scholarships are they interviewing for at the moment? I was told Merit scholarships wouldn’t be rewarded until this week.

D just learned today of her acceptance to UK’s Human Health Science program. No word on honors college or merit yet. Anyone know when this is expected?
We heard about Honors College a couple of weeks ago and D is also signed up for Merit weekend. We haven’t heard anything about Merit either. The website says we should know starting March 1st about merit scholarships and March 15th for competitive, I think.
What we have received in order (OOS, 4.0, AP, job, extracurriculars, leadership, etc)
Jan : Acceptance & Chemistry Major (HS email)
Feb : Merit Weekend (HS email)
Feb: Canvas Modules (UKY email)
March : Advisor Appt to schedule classes (UKY email)
March : Bluegrass Scholarship 3.8 level (my uky Financials)
No word on Honors nor Competitive
Excited to get the process going!!

You already got the Bluegrass? How is that notification sent?
I looked in the My Uky portal, Financial tab, Financial Aid
Otherwise no notification via email

Just checked my son’s portal and it looks like he is being awarded a Presidential Scholarship! That said, he participated in the KY Governors Scholars program and had a 35 on the ACT so it was guaranteed. But, it does show on the portal so you might want to check and see if you have anything listed there. Have not heard from anyone about interviews for the Singletary though. Probably a no for him since they do have the Presidential already listed?
D was invited to merit weekend and accepted into Honors College. She applied for competitive scholarships but has not received any interviews. No scholarship or financial aid notifications in her portal yet. Congrats to everyone who has gotten good news so far, and good luck to all of you!
