@ohio101
In this thread, several OOS students mention their very good FA packages:

In this thread, OOS students are discussing renewable, need-based scholarships they received from Michigan:

@brantly

Your second thread is incorrect. The Tappan and presidential scholarship are not need based because neither of us submitted out CSS and on the website it declares those scholarships as merit based.

If you are admitted/rejected do you get an email notification about it or do you just have to check Wolverine Access. If you just have to check the portal where would it say the decision?

@Yeezyy there is a follow-up email for accepted people at least.

@brantly
More generous aid like in this post from a link you supplied.

“I also got the Tappan Scholarship for $25K! Combined with my low EFC, I think I don’t have to pay anything–they gave me grants up to the $57K sticker price.”

So I would consider giving a OSS student a grant as being more generous than giving a ISS a Fed. loan and work study. I also would guess that this student(if true) that you linked to would have a EFC of zero because the outside scholarships that my son will receive will come right off his aid award starting with the loan and working through the work study.

@alithegator Well that’s interesting because, a) it is administered by the Office of Financial Aid, not the admissions office, and b) in an Office of Financial Aid publication, both the Tappan and the Presidential appear on a list entitled 2016-2017 Major Financial Aid Programs.

Has anyone heard back from the honors college yet?

@tbhbulls do you think that we’ll find out tomorrow?

@bruin2020 They said by midnight 3/17. That would be tonight. Let me know when you find out.

@tbhbulls I’m pretty sure they mean by 11:59 PM tomorrow.

True, it might be on Friday

In the same boat as you!

Are honors decisions released through email or online? Also, what time were the released last batch??

@Abwee67 it should come in your email around 3 PM EST.

Are non-honor decisions going to be posted tomorrow as well?

Anybody hear from honors yet?

@CalDude2020 I think that’s on Friday
