The highest I’ve seen in state is 20k over 4 years. Much more for OOS.

I think it’s her major. They know that CS is in demand major and difficult admit everywhere. They figure she might attend without merit anyway so why offer.

Merit is really dynamic pricing. They are looking for OOS dollars, so they use merit to draw them in.

60K for OOS is not affordable compared to other state schools for e.g. OOS VT, Purdue, UMass, UMNTwin cities

Costs the same or less than UNC, WI, TAMU, Pitt, DE, Indiana, Wash, WM, CT, OR and CO


Plus is giving merit to many

DD also accepted and have way above the average stat but didn't get any merit. We attended today's open house and there was Q&A session all notifications for merit is done. So looking into other options.

DS has been accepted to UMD, and we're immensely proud of this achievement. However, we haven't received any updates regarding the scholarship. We're uncertain whether they'll be announced later or if he hasn't been awarded any. Has anyone else received scholarship information from UMD?
