My D just got an email that she’s a finalist for the Pogue and was invited for an interview. I have not checked the portal to see if it says anything else.
OK—Kid just got an email with a $10K per year unnamed scholarship. (We did not apply for financial aid.)
How do you see your financial aid? I got the email saying your financial aid award is available and when I clicked on it I had to log in to ConnectCarolina but when I did that it brought up the page with the student notification and student homepage links box.
Is anyone from In-State seeing the Academic Scholarship on financial aid?
@twinmommy Yes, and I just received an email about it
Is “academic scholarship” need based financial aid? Meaning is this award people are seeing money to meet the difference between the EFC (expected family contribution) and the annual cost of attendance. Or is the actual merit scholarship , non need based aid, such as Carolina scholars etc…?
@Skrunch I received mine today after being admitted EA last week
@mimioc213 So notification of any awards will not come by email? The student just has to log into their portal? I am also not involved (other than providing my credit card for application fees)! I guess I need to tell her to look in her portal on Friday? I think she applied for the Study Abroad Fellowship.
My daughter was selected for verification so we had to complete an extra form. On her Connect Carolina portal she now says financial aid is processing. Hopefully, she will get her award letter tomorrow or the day after since all of her financial aid to-do list tasks have been completed.
@skrunch are you oos or in state?
@bluedevil20 Thanks, I will have my DS check his email when he gets home from work.
In-State. It was associated with Accelerated Research opportunity in Excel.
I just got an email I got a full-ride academic scholarship! I’m an out of state student.
What is the difference between Excel@Carolina and Honors Carolina? If you are offered an Excel opportunity, does that mean you are in Honors Carolina?
I just checked her CC.
No financial aid award. I did have to go in on one page and put her social security number. Maybe that was the hold up.
same for me
Honors Carolina was sent to a friend of mine, I got financial aid decision with 10k scholarship. Wish I had gotten honors Carolina but is what it is. Congrats to all accepted to honors Carolina
Are the emails coming out today going to the students’ regular (non-UNC) email accounts, or did you set up accounts through UNC that are receiving this latest round of emails?
@ncmom2020 Received mine through personal email account
I had to do an extra form and my aid has not been processed yet. Hoping for honors and merit aid.
