@DadofThree111 OOS can be up to $8000 for the Hutton Awards. That is on my child’s portal plus an A&S award (small) and the original Dean’s award from Early Action. So OOS at least can be up to 8. All in all, IU offered my child pretty good merit, but it came in bits and pieces after we had begun losing interest.
The trouble is that child was a finalist for the Wells and loved IU but wasn’t offered the Wells and very crucially wasn’t offered the STARS research position or even an interview, so we can’t justify the OOS costs for IU even with all the scholarships and a grant since we don’t even know child could go right into research. Not sure how they decide the amounts for the Hutton scholarships or if it matters what School you are in. Also, it has a different name, but when I googled it, turned out it was from HHC. Hope that gives you an idea of the merit aid for OOS. In state might differ and probably does.
