Not sure - we are the opposite. No honors, but we did get the scholarship.

1346

Same here. No honors but received the Buckeye scholarship.

1347

That does seem odd to me - I would call to ask about it.

1348

I think merit vs honors are two separate departments

1349

Did you ever receive your merit? I haven’t and its mid march. I was accepted during the first batch of EA results too

S24 is OOS from CA, he received merit letter in Feb and no honor email yet. He emailed tOSU, they replied saying that honor email will send out until end of March.

1351

I have been admitted to the Scholars Program (Unsure when I filled this out) and I have still not received any merit. I was really hoping for the Buckeye scholarship for out-of-state, but unfortunately still haven’t received anything.

Should I send an email to financial aid or cross off tOSU
 This sucks too because I live less than 3 hours away in Pennsylvania and is still one of my top options.

1352

Still waiting unfortunately

1353

You definitely could try asking - just make sure you are polite.

1354

S24 just got admitted to Scholars Program now, got his merit letter back in Feb.

1355

Yep
you’re probably right. And I can understand cases where students receive merit aid, but are not admitted to the honors program. The other way around (admitted to honors, but no merit aid) seems a little odd.

1356

Is scholars hard to get or something? I got rejected honors but into scholars. Don’t know much about it

1357

should we call their office and ask? would that gice us a better chance or at least an answer?

1358

If it was me, I’d probably call and ask politely. If nothing else you might get additional insight into the process and timing of any additional merit awards (if there are any)

1359

I would just add that even though your situation seems odd on the surface, I wouldn’t necessarily assume there’s an error on OSU’s part. Colleges often use merit to entice students in specific majors and/or from specific (usually underrepresented) areas of the country. Still wouldn’t hurt to give them a call. Best of luck!

Scholars is a nice program only offered to incoming freshman. The scholars have specific dorms they are housed in and a special advisor. It is possible to add honors later at OSU.

I would call and ask. We didn’t receive anything about merit in the mail but when I called I was told my son received two scholarships.

Admissions can help. I said that we hadn’t received anything and just wanted to confirm that was accurate.
