I have received an academic scholarship from the U of M this year and I was under the impression that if I was accepted to honors it would come in the same envelope, but the outside of this envelope only said “congratulations! on your University of Minnesota Scholarship” and had information about one scholarship (the Dave Larson scholarship) and no honors invitation.
I’m really hoping to get into the honors program (for CSE) and I’m wondering if I would have gotten in would it have been in that envelope or is it separate?
Also, do all of the scholarships you receive come in one envelope or could I possibly be receiving more separately too?
I think it’s separate. I just today got in the mail the iron range scholarship and it didn’t have anything regarding honors in it.
How many scholarships are there? Son got one today.
Historically… admission, scholarships and honors have been communicated by different departments and at different times.
My daughter was accepted in October to the CLA, about 2 weeks after she recieved a letter from the honor program. We did not get anything else until this week, we got the Dave Larson scholarship letter. We are worry this is the only scholarship she is getting. Does anyone knows if they continue adding any more scholarships, or this is it?
I remember there is a separate application for scholarships, but I only discovered it a few days ago and its probably too late to apply already: https://scholarships.cla.umn.edu/
What kind of letter did you get from U of Minn? The letter I got was just an invitation to honor’s housing, instead of a “you are accepted to honors…” kind of statement. But I checked my tracker and it says I’m in.
@veircg Honors notification only shows on the tracker. There’s no letter. Scholarships come in the mail and not on the tracker. Many don’t require an application (university-wide scholarships), but I suspect notifications are probably done or nearly done.
She got a letter congratulating her on her acceptance to the honor program tha also included the honors housing information.
@veircg yes, CLA has a separate application for their own scholarships, we discover that by accident and were able to apply on time. We are just wondering if they send notifications later and not with the financial award letter.
I ended up getting the letter, thanks everyone!
@momof2dg I received my scholarship notification on my financial aid letter. It wasn’t any formal sort of additional letter, instead it was just stated with all my grants and other scholarships.
