When do merit scholarships come out in February?

Last year almost all IN-state students who received Presidential scholarships had a 34 ACT or higher score (or equivalent SAT score). Almost all IN state students who received a Dean’s scholarship received a 33 ACT score (or equivalent SAT score). There seemed to be a little more variability in the test score to merit scholarship received for out of state students. However it’s important to note that many accepted students who had test scores in this range did not receive either merit scholarship (even some who had 35 ACT and/or upper 1500’s SAT). Most In state Presidential scholarships were $5,000/year for four years although some were less. In past years there were also $8,000 in state Presidential scholarships (for four years) but no indication of this dollar award last year. Most in state Dean’s scholarships were $4,500/year for the first two years although some were less. Most out of state Presidential scholarships were either $5,000, $8,000, $12,000 or $12,500 per year for four years although a few were less. Dean’s scholarship is in state only. It is also important to note that there isn’t necessarily a strict correlation from one year to the next. This information may be different for the Class of 2023. Lastly there are also a very limited number of individual school scholarships offered to incoming freshman. These are typically merit based with a financial need component whereas the University freshman scholarships are supposedly primarily merit based. The individual school scholarships typically are received a couple weeks after the University scholarships. In some cases the school scholarships can be much larger than the University scholarships but as noted there are very few of these. Lastly, you cannot apply for or request any of these scholarships- the school will send you an email/letter if you receive or are eligible for the scholarships.
