University of Kentucky - Academic Scholarships Class of 2025

Congratulations! As an OOS that is a wonderful accomplishment to monetize all her hard work.

Thank you for letting me know! Congratulations!!

Where are you guys seeing the financial aid awards? In the My UK portal?

My D doesnā€™t have any financial aid listed yet. I can now see the estimated cost of attendance (COA) budget. I donā€™t think that was there last time I checked. There are no fin aid offers to review yet, whether scholarships or loans. Hopefully soon.

So far, I think people have been seeing offers in the my UK portal.

UK says that they are trying to finish up interviews and have offers made by Monday, March 15th. They used to snail mail contracts with the formal offer, but maybe this has changed since my daughter went through 4 years ago.

You are correct on both counts, UKā€™s funds are tighter this year and the Singletary Scholarship requires an interview process. Keep in mind most of the Singletary awards, but not all, go to in-state students (itā€™s usually 80% to 90% in-state vs. OOS). Patterson is basically automatic. My oldest son received a Presidential within weeks of being accepted, with no interview, but that was later replaced with his Patterson offer. My oldest daughter got a Presidential without an interview and that was just two years ago, after last year (2020ā€¦) it may have changed.

@user_379323, did your D get a competitive offer? I hope so! Our kidsā€™ stats are close, but we didnā€™t get an interview :disappointed:
Thanks! And best wishes!!!

We are still waiting on the competitive decisions. They told her mid-March. Not a specific date. I have no clue if they give out any competitive scholarships without an interview. Things seem very different this year based on what others are saying! Letā€™s all stay in touch and Good luck!

Not yet!

Interestingly, my son that was accepted as an Engineering major and into Lewis Honors / SEAM program just got a message at 5 that he was accepted into the Selective Clinical Leadership and Management program for Health Sciences. Not sure what that is, but I think some kind of mix up happened. Canā€™t figure out for the life of us if that was actually something he applied forā€¦ Anyhow, good luck to everyone! Hopefully Singletary decisions come out soon!!!

Great news over here. Portal updated from Bluegrass to Presidential!!! We are so very grateful. All her hard work paid off!

No official email or letter yet

Good luck to those waiting to hear!

Thank you!

I have heard nothing from UK regarding scholarships. I applied for the competitive scholarships. 32 ACT, 3.97 UWGPA, 6 APs, 2 time swim team captain, 150+ service hours. I was accepted to HHS, but denied Lewis Honors. Anyone know when I should hear back? Getting anxious as I would love to go to UK but am OOS so itā€™s pricey. I emailed the financial aid rep and my admissions counselor but havenā€™t heard back.

Was told we should get a yes or no email by tomorrow. Good luck!

Someone please let us know if you get an email or portal update re scholarships. Still nothing listed under financial aid for us yet. Good luck and happy St Pattys Day!

As of Monday, March 15, we could see that the Non-Resident Presidential scholarship replaced the Bluegrass Spirit scholarship in the portal.

Good luck to all!

Has anyone else heard anything? I am finding this so frustrating, and also sad, as this is where I had hoped to attend. Thanks.
