<p>Yeah, I wouldn’t imagine you’d get any academic-based merit scholarships (which I believe all of the scholarships through UMD for incoming freshman are) if you didn’t at least get accepted into honors. The implicit correlation is that students with high stats get into honors/etc…students with HIGHER stats get merit scholarships…so it wouldn’t really make sense for one to receive a merit scholarship through the school, but not be accepted into honors :P.</p>
