ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. — A university in Michigan said Friday it erroneously notified students that they would receive top tuition awards, just days after another school in the state said its prospective studentsOakland University, north of Detroit in Rochester Hills, said in a statement that due to human error its undergraduate student application system sent email notifications to some admitted students that they were entitled to receive the school’s Platinum Presidential Scholar Award.
The award is Oakland University’s highest, but the students who received the notification don’t meet eligibility requirements for the award. The email was intended for students who had already been sent notice of their Presidential Scholar award through an official scholarship award letter, the university said.“An immediate correction update was sent within two hours to the students who received the scholarship messages in error,” the school said.
But the university said Wednesday that those contacted hadn’t won the prestigious award and the message had gone out “inadvertently” as school staffers were testing new messaging technology.
