<p>An extremely prestigious award and a possibility of a $50,000 scholarship? Come on, don't tell me none of you CC geeks applied! Anybody?</p>
<p>:P I applied for literature.</p>
<p>I only learned about it a week before the deadline. I believe I'll do literature next year, I'll work on it this summer and it will be my Sophomore project.</p>
<p>Ooh, I've heard about this program. It sounds so hardcore. Good luck, you guys!</p>
<p>Kalonity, can I PM you? I applied for lit too, I'd love to talk to you...I know NOBODY else who's applied!!! Would you want to exchange some stuff?</p>
<p>Oh, and do you know approx. how many people apply in our category? I emailed the Fellowship people and they said they didn't disclose it. For all I know it could be 10 or 10,000.</p>
<p>haha sure, going ahead and message me. I have no idea how many people applied, but one of my friends from my school applied last year and won $10k.
I'm pretty nervous though, since my other 2 10k scholarships have probably fallen through (scholastics portfolios in art and writing- got a national silver but no gold :/)</p>
<p>I was going to do this for senior year, until I saw that my birthday is mere weeks before the "cut-off" birthdate.</p>
<p>Just curious. Has anyone who applied this year been contacted by Davidson or had your mentor contacted? I guess the decisions should be out next month.</p>
<p>what do you exactly have to do for this? A general summary anyone? Just curious; wow all that cash...probably takes a crapload of effort though.</p>
<p>The pool is extremely self-selective because there are SO many steps to the application process.</p>
<p>I'm planning on applying next year probably in science. I was going to do math, but I couldn't think of a single thing to do.</p>
<p>I heard some people found out already. Bummer...nothing,</p>
<p>I WON $10,000 FOR LITERATURE!!!!</p>
<p>Haha, I am soooo happy. See some of you in DC in September?</p>
<p>What is this?</p>
<p>You won that in cold hard cash southeasttitan?</p>
<p>Can someone please inform me?</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS, southeasttitan! That is absolutely wonderful. What was in your portfolio?</p>
<p>Southeasttitan, how did you find/get in contact with your professional? And are there requirements for the types of literature (i.e. fiction, nonfiction, poetry)?</p>
<p>ArtOfMind: No, it's a scholarship. Go to Programs</a> & Scholarships ~ Davidson Fellow Scholarships
GeoKid: It was a collection of short stories and poems. My official pitch was that it examined the question "What makes a writer?" through the eyes and minds of young girls whose stories spanned time and space. There was a story about Emily Bronte, a young pioneer mother, a five-year-old in South Africa, a sixteen-year-old in Guatemala, a girl living during the Dust Bowl, and me. :)
Shortiegirl: You should look at the website too. You need three of the four categories: nonfiction, fiction, poetry, screenwriting. My professional was a family friend :)</p>
<p>the awards are now out... i believe they came out last friday.</p>
<p>Congrats, southeasttitan! </p>
<p>I'm gonna look into this for next year. It seems fun!</p>
<p>How do you guys find this out? Man, I'm always the last one to find out.</p>
<p>sigh</p>
