Does anyone know if you can receive additional merit scholarships on top of the Dean's scholarship? Their wording said "This does not preclude you from receiving additional financial aid if you should qualify." However, is there a realistic shot of receiving two awards from the same school?

I'm obviously very grateful for what I've received; however, this school does remain exceptionally pricey as an OOS student.

Dean's scholarship today! Does anyone know if you can receive additional merit scholarships on top of the Dean's scholarship?

It's pretty much the exact same amount as their in-state tuition rate. I wonder if we ended up going there, and were able to change our residency to Iowa if it would essentially become a full tuition scholarship?

They don’t allow, unless you take a LOA per MSAR. Iirc, they mention they try to give scholarships and aid to offset OOS costs to make it closer to IS costs.

anyone knows if I interviewed end of September and have not heard a decision, did they go past me and I won’t hear until January for sure, or is there a chance they go back to review? Every Tuesday hoping I get in here 😂
 
Oh ok thank you because mine was 9/22 but I don’t remember hearing a timeline
np. I was just told post-interview very briefly "You'll hear back from us in 6-8 weeks time". I have seen a few people receive notice earlier than that, but as a disclaimer they say they don't review in order of interview time so that 6-8 weeks doesn't mean a whole lot.
 
Thank you all for the information, this is very helpful at least the 6-8 weeks timeline they said gives me some hope to expect before Jan or March ultimately 🙂
