<p>Basically, I posted something similar in the Robertson Scholarship thread over in the Duke forum, but I thought someone might be able to better answer my question here.</p>
<p>Do finalists who are rejected for multi-stage scholarships (i.e. Morehead or Robertson) get considered for other scholarships later if they don't get one of the above scholarships? </p>
<p>For instance, if someone was the UNC Robertson committee's 16st choice, will the Robertson people pass along the person's name to say the William Richardson Davie Scholarship Committee?</p>
<p>(I ask this because it seems like the UNC scholarship commitees prevent overlap when considering students for scholarships--or has someone gotten offers from Robertson, Morehead, and Caroline Scholars?)</p>
<p>I read your post over on the Duke Robertson Scholars threat. I think (and this is all not at all credible just my gut opinion) is that they don't share information. Why would the Robertson Scholars share info on one of their top candidates with another committee. It would spark an all out bidding war. I don't think candidates are cross shared.</p>
<p>first off everyone's application is automatically considered for scholarships at UNC. Also i'm pretty sure the committees don't share information. I remember hearing, when I was in high school, someone ask a UNC admission officer about the Morehead scholarship and she said she can't answer anything about that becuase that is not run by the school, but instead its run by a different organization. But if your good enough to make it as UNC Robertsons 16th choice then you're application should be impressive enough for some scholarship money.</p>
<p>Yes, they do pass you on for some scholarships. I know that they do it at UNC, I'm not sure about Duke. I don't think that they do it at Duke, but I'm only sure about UNC.</p>
<p>I am going to second DisplacedNYer on that with some hard evidence as foundation: I received a letter notifying me that I will be receiving a merit scholarship in April from UNC. At the end of the letter, they also said that I could still be considered for other scholarships and specifically mentioned the Robertson and Morehead (neither of which I received :()</p>
<p>hell i'm gonna be honest here, i really don't know anything about those two scholarship programs. I never bothered with them, there's a lot of scholarship money out there and If you don't get those 2 big ones its no big deal.</p>
<p>chocoholic: Yes, I think it was 25 from NC and 18 from outside NC, including those from GB and Canada. Usually, they make it an even 20-20 split, for a total of 40. But this year they announced 43.</p>
<p>Actually last year's 40 Scholars was down from previous years due to a reduction in the total number of awards given out because of poor investment performance that year by the fund. In previous years they have been able on occasion to award as many as 53-56. Because of the fund's shortfall coupled with ever increasing tuition costs, they didn't want to reduce the size or scope of the grant so they reduced the number of scholarships given in 2004 to 40. </p>
<p>Because of better fund performance this year and additional funds donated by Morehead alums, for 2005 they were able to increase the total number of awards to 46. They broke out as follows: 25 instate, 16 out of state, and 2 from the UK for a total of 43 through the US/UK process plus three more Canadian winners for a grand total of 46.</p>
