I like having these threads around. It think it gives a nice idea of the timeline to students going for merit awards, both for this year and as a record for students for later years. Especially since the different colleges at UIUC have different notification dates.

Pretty much what it says in the title: post questions relating to merit awards (timeline, requirements, selection etc.) or what you’ve received.

From http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-illinois-urbana-champaign/1440952-financial-aid-merit-awards.html:
jkordas received merit money from ACES
Rolando4 received merit from the College of Media and (possibly?) a different scholarship from elsewhere

I received a University Achievement Scholarship (available to OOS students) today. Mailed on Jan 10.

I know the UIUC forum doesn’t tend to be very active, but I guess this thread will get used if there’s interest.
