Hi. Has anyone admitted this year gotten an award letter for the competitive scholarships yet? My son was hoping for a presidential. He was invited for merit weekend, and he did get some scholarships awarded already, but no notice for the larger ones.
DS interviewed for Singletary. Still waiting to hear.
FAQs for scholarships on their website says offers to be mailed by March 1.
My daughter is in the same boat. She has gotten other scholarships but is still waiting to hear about the presidential.
Still waiting! We are visiting Alabama on Monday. UK is his first choice but he has full tuition at UA.
Hang in there. It is such a long painful wait, isn’t it? Feel like we will all know by the end of next week at the latest, based on the “to be mailed by March 1” statement on their website. Great that your S has another generous offer on the table.
Anyone have any news yet?
Nothing in today’s mail…still waiting.
Oh, I didn’t realize that these scholarships are being offered. I’m assuming that they’re automatically awarded – there was no separate application or interview required?
I think there was an essay as part of the application
I emailed today and they said decisions on these would be made by the end of this week, so we might not hear anything until early next week.
Very official looking letter from UK office of admissions and registrar came in today’s mail. DS at school so can’t confirm this is it but it looks like it.
My daughter just opened hers that came today and it was regarding merit weekend. Still waiting for the right letter to come!
No letter today. I also checked UK email and award section of UKY. Nothing. Alabama trip was great, though. I don’t think my son thought he would like it as much as he did. He says it will be a tough decision. He was almost sure he was going to UK before the trip.
Nothing in the mail for us either. Bummer.
@OCmom18 Our son is a sophomore at Alabama where he received a full tuition scholarship. When we first visited we were surprised at how much we all liked it. It was a touch choice for him between some great schools, but he ultimately decided on Alabama. He loves it there.
Our daughter is looking at Bama, UK, and Iowa. She knows her scholarship offers from Bama and Iowa. Anxiously awaiting the final scholarship offer from UK. Good luck to you and your son!
Ughhh…yes this was about merit weekend. Sorry if I set anyone up for a let down today.
DS was hoping to hear about Brown Fellows at Louisville today so we were doubly disappointed.
no news for us. Nothing arrived in mail.
same here
Just letting everyone know, I talked to a UK chat employee on March 1st and she said they were planning to send out the letters March 1st and 2nd. She also mentioned that campus mail typically takes 1 week to deliver, so we have some more waiting to do.
DS received UK scholarship letter today. He did not receive Singletary. Eligible for the Patterson, but will not be attending U of K. He has decided on Louisville. Good luck all.
