@Tbosmom Good question. S is a freshman at UCF Engineering this fall (Burnett Honors College). He received his acceptance on October 18, 2016 and a scholarship offer (Knights Achievement Award) on November 17th. I don’t believe he clicked “accept” until he received the scholarship offer, because we had heard the same thing about scholarships. You may not hear about scholarship awards for a while, though, as I think it may not be until a bit later in the fall when they begin being awarded. I’ve heard UCF has only a limited amount of scholarship money/funds/awards/etc. so it was good that your S applied early. S applied early also so he could have a decent shot at scholarship awards as well. P.S. It’s still early, but so far, he loves UCF (out-of-state/Virginia).
All the best to you!
